Eel still gets along with my copperband, both banggai’s, and filefish. And most recently a blue reef chromis that i picked up. Maybe since the lion was slower than the other fish the eel mistook it as food.

No sign of the lion. Lost all hope at this point. I’ll make sure to get a larger one next time to eliminate my eel possibly snacking on him.

okay. I am transferring everything in the 55 to a 75 this weekend. Maybe during the tank move she will show up.

Still no sign of the lion. I don’t think she’s coming back anytime soon at this point.

Yep checked all around the outside. No fish. Wouldn’t it have come out by now in search of food ?

Still no sign of the lionfish, unfortunately.

I doubt she had just “died” she looked very healthy the day before she wen’t missing. But, yeah, the eel going after a venomous fish does not make too much sense, especially since the eel seems fine. Hopefully she is just in the rocks like you guys are saying.

I am just worried that she has been eaten or something. Since I picked up every rock already wouldn’t she have swam out of one she was on ?

I really hope shes alive. Since it’s nocturnal should i look for her after the lights have been off for a while ?

Honestly don’t know what else could’ve happened besides the eel snagging it, but i examined the eel and he has no wounds and seems fine. Since the fish is venomous i would assume it would have some effect on the little eel, but nothing. Maybe he didn’t eat it? One of my large rocks has small...

Bad news. Came home from school today and could not locate the Lionfish. Ripped apart the whole tank in doing so. Checked around the powerheads, heater, etc. Flipped every rock and checked in my macro algae patches. Nothing. I’m guessing the eel had got to it. So weird, he has never gone after...

He is also my oldest fish. I’ve had him for around two years now.

Okay! He gets at least 3 whole krill a day. I like to keep him stuffed to keep any possibility of him snacking on his tankmates. Does that sound good for him?

Also, I shouldn’t be worried about the snowflake eel attacking and eating the small lionfish, right? He has never bothered fish before but the lion being so small does concern me slightly. But then again, the eel doesn’t even bother my peppermint shrimp. Him being a pebble-toothed, crustacean...

She is just a normal dwarf fuzzy lion
