    New Dwarf Lionfish Help

    They will eat anything they can fit in their mouth. Ghost shrimp can live in sw longer then u may think. There a brackish shrimp. Get a few maybe 6 small ones. Acclimate like u do fish and put um in. The lion will find them

    New Dwarf Lionfish Help

    Jumbo mysis is worth a shot. If not live ghost shrimp will get it feeding. Then slowly ween off to frozen prawns, krill, small sw fish. I can hand feed mine prawns. It started on live shrimp tho.

    Salinity levels

    I agree w imforbis. Stores are there to sell you stuff. Sometimes its just misinformation and not a sales pitch. Either way do your homework. A nem definitely needs higher salinity, a fish only tank is generally 1.020- 1.023 reef tanks generally 1.025- to 1.027. A nem is definitely in the reef...

    How can I grow copepods for my mandarin fish?

    At 2 yrs old your tank has pods. All mandys do is eat tho so it will take a toll on your pod population. What filtration are you using? You can add some macro alagae to a sump and its a pod breeding ground. You can add it to the tank aswell but the tang may eat it. As far as frozen options...

    Sail fin Tang

    My sail fin and yellow don't fight. However my yellow was dominant at the beginning. If your yellow is actually doing damage then its best to rehome the sail. Adding another yellow won't help. It needs to be done at the same time. All 3 together

    Triggerfish Vs. Lionfish.. PLEASE HELP!

    First way too many fish for that size tank. Especially that kind of aggressive fish. The undulated will eventually kill every other fish you have. Triggers for the most part should not be housed together or w lions. Lions are not aggressive fish, they just eat other fish. Triggers with very few...

    anemone and fish compatibles

    Unfortunately it is possible the nems are doing it. Clowns have a natural immunity to the sting. Other fish do not.

    Dwarf Lionfish Help

    Try training him to know where the live shrimp come from. Feed from the same spot every time. Mine knows when the top opens its feeding time. He comes up to the top of the rock and waits. If i wiggle frozen prawns he will take them out of my hand.
