Agreed with above. Lighting isn't needed during the cycle. It's not needed even w fish lol. They could care less, it's only if you want to see them lol

Agreed. Start up is your best time to add whatever you want. Sand,rock,equipment, ect. With no live stock you won't kill anything lol. Once critters get added it's more important how and what you add. Generally no sand, so make sure you have enough or none depending on preference before...

Just to jump in. It's best to add your rock then fish. Any die off on the rock from transport coupled with adding fish could cause a spike. Especially in a new tank. I will add a new piece of lr now and then as a treat for the fish. New alage, critters ect

It's time for our quarterly fishing update lol. How goes it ?

There is always a kiddie pool lol. My blue spot grew like a weed. Hit 10" in like 6-7 months, since slowed considerably

I believe the first few yrs it's faster then slows a bit.

Both those will get bigger,so no issue. The hippo will definitely get too big lol

Lol my gramma is fairly big, so idk. Your others tho eh lol

They do come very small generally. Mine was maybe 1.5" when I got it. I do like them tho, unless u keep really small fish like clown gobys,Hectors gobys, possibly fire fish I would think it's worth a try

Depends on tank mates. Mine sits at the top of the tank when the lights go on bc it knows food is coming lol. Now when it was in qt w my one tang I had to target feed around the tang bc it would eat all the food even getting in my option way too close to the Lions spines. Lions also shouldn't...

Initial feeding can be tricky. Generally it's live ghost shrimp. Then dead ghost shrimp, on to there normal frozen foods. Prawn,krill,jumbo mysis,ect. Once eating frozen there very easy to feed.

You can see the damsel in the back ground lol. I believe the zebra is one that prefers crustaceans. Mine it's frozen prawn mainly with frozen krill mixed in

Saxman was the lion fish expert when I started on this forum lol where r u now??? The 3 most common are fuzzy dwarf,zebra, and fu man chu. Mine is a zebra

Oh yea, they can eat 3" fish. Now certain dwarfs prefer crustaceans so fish maybe left alone. Most incidents w dwarfs are when there under fed.

I should clarify, the lion was added last but that was a yr ago

It hasnt touched the yellow tail damsel or maroon clown. They've all been together from day 1

Lol I do recommend them. It's all the stuff you like about a lion minus the large size and eating all tank mates. Idk how it would do w shrimp tho. Getting them to eat frozen can be tricky at first tho. Once trained tho there very easy

10 gal w a dwarf lion,damsel and puffer. Lol jk jk it's a 40b

Lol my maroon isn't bad, I hear stories of there aggression but mine is well behaved. I am intrested to see if that changes once I move her to the 75 tho lol

Very good. I am surprised you don't have clowns already. Alot of folks add those first to the tank. I've been looking for a fox myself.
