LionFish says....... Looks good man. It is also nice to finally see someone else with a Swissguard. Great fish aren't they? Keep up the good pics and tank.

LionFish says........ I would strongly suggest that you remove that fish as soon as possible. Those suckers have one nasty attitude and can do serious damage to a lot of fish. I wanted one in my 50 gallon reef but after I noticed that the one I wanted at the LFS was in a tank by itself, I got...

LionFish says....... Well, I've had to deal with 3 of those crabs. The little S.O.B.s were in it together. They attacked my Bangaii Cardinal and tore him apart. They messed with the wrong person at the wrong time. Too bad they didn't know that my other tank had a trigger in it. Hehe. The trigger...

LionFish says....... All lions are awesome fish except those horrible little freak Fumanchus. They don't even resemble a lionfish. My personal favorite is my Black Volitan in my 120 gallon. He is an awesome fish with actually, a little bit of a personality. My little Dwarf lion is another great...

LionFish says...... I deleted the topic about the junk mail crap. This is a site for saltwater hobbiests to ask and answer questions. I don't want to see that junk here again. I can honestly say nobody wanted to see that kinda scam here. You should realise that this is a site that is made for...

LionFish says....... Well, Andy, I live near Lansing. About 20 minutes into town. In a small town called Leslie. There is an awesome fish store called Preuss animal house in Lansing. You live close to Tropicorium I assume. You are very lucky. Sorry it took so long for a response. I have been...

LionFish says....... Thanks for the replies, guys. I have known to stay away from the Sohol and Achilles. And I have dealt with Clown triggers at the LFS and they aren't easy to keep healthy. Yellows really can get ick as I've seen. I have kept my eye on Purples and Koles for awhile. Algea is no...

LionFish says........ Here's the lowdown on this fish. They grow to be about 7 inches. They need a varied diet to live such as: squid, krill, shrimp, and silversides. They prefer small meaty foods. They, like all lions are poisionous. The minimum tank size is a 50 gallon tank. They eat inverts...

LionFish says....... Well, this could be trouble. You did get a good deal. However, that trigger got a bad deal. It is not even possible to keep a trigger in that small of a tank and you definitely can't have anymore fish with it. I think you need to go out a get a 75 gallon or more tank as soon...

LionFish says....... Fish Only With = FOWLR Live Rock Kinda confusing to figure out all the abbreviations. I had trouble with this one too. Also, welcome to the board. :)

LionFish says...... Nah, these aren't the fish you want to deal with. Too hard to keep and they need a larger tank than you have. Usually a 100 gallon will suit one of them. They tend to be such fickle eaters that they usually perish within a week. And like grouper said, about 99% of them die. I...

LionFish says...... I am curently in the works of a 70 gallon tank which will be up and running by December. I have done a lot of research on Tangs but I have only dealt with the Regal Tang in the past. Cool, little fish but he got ick and dies on me after a couple of months. Anyways, I was...

LionFish says...... Well, actually, I would not recommend it at all. Personally, I have been in the freshwater hobby for 27 years now and I have dealt with nearly every freshwater fish you can name. There are a few fish I haven't had, though. Freshwater stingrays are totally different than...

LionFish says....... Now you know how I feel. Think about all those times when stubborn people just won't listen to us sharks and their fish goes belly-up. J/K ;) However, it is very disheartening to see someone not take advice seriously, especially when you know whats going to happen. It's too...

LionFish says...... I'll go as far as to say this. You can have a lionfish but it has to be a Dwarf Lionfish. Not one of those Volitans or Radiattas, or Antennatas. Also if you get a Dwarf it's still going to get 7 or 8 inches long. That takes up a lot of room. They are extremely messy eaters...

LionFish says...... I sure think the lion would love that line-up of fish because he would have a smorgas board of food to inhale at his leisure. I usually don't recommend firefish, blennies, or gobys, or even six-line wrass with lionfish. You do realise that lionfish eat small fish and you do...

LionFish says...... Well, first off, there is virtually no little cleaning critters that would survive in that tank. However, you could try Trochus snails as they are gigantic but the likely outcome will be that the trigger would break the shell and eat him. Shrimp and crabs are easy for those...

LionFish says...... Well, they are rather active but it takes them a little time to really adjust to a new tank but other than that they are extremely active and entertaining. They eat basically what all aggressive fish eat. They require a varied diet mainly consisting of small, meaty foods such...

LionFish says....... You will be able to get a lionfish as soon as you see that all your readings are down to zero and your other parameters are good. Of course, you can't have a Volitans, Radiatta, or Antennata in that small of a tank. I really think the only lion you can attempt in a 55 is a...

LionFish says...... Well, I tend to agree with risc on this particular topic. Seeing as the lion is the slowest of the feeders, it is always best to introduce him first so he will be more used to the tank and be a more aggressive feeder by the time you add the others. Anyways, the lion is the...
