Sorry Guys I had the wrong name it is a biocellatus, I had barberi on my mind because my LFS is getting some in next week, I want to have a trio of biocellatus (fu man chu) barberi (Hawaiian Green Fuzzy) and the brachypterus (fuzzy dwarf) I have now.  The fu is eating guppies no problem, and my fuzzy is eating frozen every other day he is growing and looking great.  Thanks for looking!

Al, don't let him eat guppies for too long, I think that's what doomed mine. Good luck converting him.

D. biocellatus isn't sexually dimorphic/dichromic, so only another "fu" knows for sure.  It also happens to be the WORST lion in terms of conspecific aggression.

Al's becoming a real "lion taming fiend", TommieLynn...his fuzzy is doing really well for him.  Good advice for all those considering lions tho!

Update on the fu - he is eating frozen last night he took 6 pieces of salmon.  Starting to move around a bit more.  He will move in with the brachypterus  into the 65 FW tank I am converting to a pred tank.  ALso will move the zebra in with these guys down the road.  Few more weeks of stick training for the fu before he gets moved.  The fuzzy is a champ with frozen shrimp, salmon scallops etc.

I got lucky with this one, he is already eating frozen off the stealth stick.

Don't sell yerself short Al...you've gone from a lionfish noob to a pretty sharp scorp keeper in record time.  Trust me on that one...then again, that's why you're into the darkside in the first place!
