Thanks! The ghost shrimp worked a lil' too good. Now how do I get him to eat all the frozen shrimp I already bought? (I tried garlic...no response) also he overeats and my puffer doesn't get his share, how can I fix this one? LOL

Hey guys, I bought a coral beauty today and he is a good size one but my lion seems to be stalking it so to speak, I have watched him before hunt down my lg. damsel and eat it & he is acting the same way towards the c.beauty, do you think that is what he is doing? The c.b is much larger than his...

Hi, I have a porc. puffer in my 65 and he has plenty of room, I know I will have to upgrade when he outgrows it though. I have to tell ya, that fish is pretty neat! I have never had a fish with a personality like his. toooo cute!

Hi! I also just purchased a V.lion and he did the exact same thing as you described(not eating/lathargic) I tried diff. frozen foods and the garlic but no response, after a week I broke down and bought some live ghost shrimp and tossed them in and man did he eat! He ate so much his stomach...

Thanks 4 the info! So I should not worry about his stomach? :happyfish

well the problem was neither fish would eat at all since we brought then home last sat. We tried garlic and diff. kinds of frozen food with that not working I went back to the lfs and they said to put all the ghost shrimp in and see if they eat, well they did but the lion over ate. (the problem...

I have a new v. lion & puffer that would not eat untill I fed them live ghost shrimp, the problem is the lion attacked the shrimp (& a lg. damsel) so fast he ate too much and the puffer did not get much, now the lion's stomach is swelled up rather large and he has not moved much since yesterday...

Ok, first I could not get him to eat untill I bought some live ghost shrimp then he ate almost all of them and a good size damsel, the problem is his stomach is really swollen and he hasn't moved much since yesterday morning. Obviously he over ate, could this be a problem or will it go down in a...

They are a red v. lion and a pork. puffer We quickly relized after we put them in the tank that 65 gal was not so big after all, so will be upgrading soon. What about a small angel or tang? Thanks 4 the info!!

I have a 65 gal F/O tank with a lion and a puffer, my question is what other colorful fish can I put with them?:happyfish I also saw a very large mandarin goby at the lfs I know gobys are a no-no but if he is about 3-4inches will that make a difference? Thanks!

Well I figured it out, we bought some live ghost shrimp & they both devoured them as fast as they could. So apparently the fish store was not just feeding them frozen. * Now that I know they just wanted live how do I get them to eat frozen? I tried the garlic and feeding stick but they know they...

lion fish

Thanks, We quickly relized we will soon need a bigger tank, at least I can start a reef in the old one! Also I have a quick question...My lion and puffer were introduced to the new tnk saturday and they still have not eaten but seem to want to eat, the store said they were fed frozen & I have...

No, I have been really watching him and he seems to look healthy. Is 3days without eating the frozen normal? My lion is also doing the same thing.

I have a puffer/lion that have not eaten since sat, the puffer seemed good untill this afternoon. He is lying in one place on the bottom of the tank, he also acts hungry but still is not accepting food. Does anyone have advice/info on sighns of puffers being sick? thanks:happyfish

It has been 3 days and niether the puffer or lion has eaten much, I saw the puffer eat a shrimp but then spit it out, I tried the garlic so I guess I will try live even though the store said they fed them frozen. The puffer is starting to act a lil' sickly...Yikes! (any and all advice is welcome!)

when you brought yours home how long was it till he ate? I have had mine along w/ a porc. puffer since saturday & niether one has eaten, I tried the garlic and the store says they fed them frozen so do I just wait or go ahead and try live? (seems like a $ pain though for live)

Ya know that is a good question, he is more of a dark burgundy so I'm guessing red.

Hi, I also am new to this and have a lion fish & puffer that have not eaten since I brought them home saturday, so I guess this is the norm (but I would feel alot better seeing them eat) I did try the garlic from the lfs and it seems to get them stirring around so maybe that will help.

Just a pic of the new V. Lion! (He still has not eaten since he was introduced into the tank saturday.)
