LionFish says..... Sammy- I'll tell ya what I saw from this Emperor. It had destroyed not only a leather but a colt coral. Eating down the tissue to the skeleton. Honest to God, too. I stand by my judgment on Emperors. I am getting one in the 180 but it will not include corals after I saw the...

LionFish says...... Well, I just got a 180 which is pretty big and I can give a couple of reef safe fish for suggestions. Avoid Harlequin Tusks in the 250 because with all that live rock..... ooooh that would be bad. Just imagine seeing 500 pounds of rock crash through the glass. Tusks are...

LionFish says...... My current 20 gallon reef seems to stya round 80 degrees on average. This seems to be fine with the Black-Cap Basslet and 6-line wrasse. Although all my larger tanks are around 78 degrees which I like more because in the summer the tank rises about 2 degrees on hot days so it...

LionFish says...... Aw, c'mon, what do I get? I get one that never does anything cool but swim all day. Grrrr, I bought one expecting it to blow sand around but he never does. Ya know that means hes looking for food. Oh well, I had never seen this before except on wildlife shows. I have seen...

LionFish says..... Well, Rick, I'm glad you got the info here because its correct. Buts you can't say that the Picasso is aggressive just because the Niger is the least aggressive. White-tails and Pink-tails are also quite docile. Also, you are probably being referred to them in the wild as they...

LionFish says..... I just love Huma Huma Triggers. I rate them up with Lions and Harlequin Tusk as my favorite fish. But huma huma triggers have an awesome personality which rivals the Harlequin Tusk which has probably one of the best personalitys of all the fishin the world. Nice pics too...

LionFish says..... Well, with a 90 gallon tank you could try some really cool fish. I would second the vote for the Harlequin Tusk. They are a large variety of the Wrasse family, are colorful, and are very active. Its an all-around cool fish. You also have the choice of a snowflake eel. They are...

LionFish says..... You want a good opinion huh? How 'bout NO. You must read up on this kind of fish. You can't have one in a 37 with a Royal Gramma because they will destroy eachother. They are extremely aggressive to fish of their own species. A 6 gallon? A 10 gallon? Whats goin on with that...

LionFish says...... Hey, those are really good pics. Nice fish, too. I hope to get a digital camera sometime soon so that I can take some pictures of my tanks. I like that Puffer, too.

LionFish says..... Well, I'll tell ya what they are really cool fish. They do an awesome job of stirring up the sand at night. They are realatively hardy but they can be hard to introduce into a tank. If you have good water conditions and your PH and Salintiy are correct then you should be fine...

LionFish says..... Well, well well. Look whos back. Thought you had left for awhile there but I see you decided to return. Hmmmmm..... hope ya like the new set-up it really is cool. While you were gone you missed a whole bunch of stuff. Better catch up.

LionFish says...... Om my good lord! Please don't buy the little fellow. It would be a waste of money on a beautiful and expensive fish. I have mine in my 20 and in 3 weeks it will be moving into my 50 gallon. And if he gets really lucky he'll go in my 180 gallon tank. They need a relatively...

LionFish says..... Get the Assasi. They are ultr-cool fish witth a good personality. If I had a choice it would definitely be the Assasi.

LionFish says..... Aright lets col the jets here Whitetailed. Not only do I believe that the tank is too small for all those fish but it isn't nearly big enough to hold them all until they get to adulthood. As long as you have a much larger tank by the time they stat getting too big it is no...

LionFish says...... Yeah, they are really nasty when it comes to picking on corals. Haven't heard too much about them chewing on inverts but I have seen some major damage to corals especially leathers. They just work at it for quite some time until they eat it all.

LionFish says..... I'm taking it that you are new to the saltwater/aggressive tank hobby. Well, you will soon learn that lions have a reputation which has been thoroughly exaggerated. Yes, they sting and yes, it hurts(I know). But its not like the lion is gonna take off at your hand if you put...

LionFish says...... Yeah, your best luck would be to put some food on a feeder stick. If you have to you can use a net to catch the triggers while you feed the eel. I have done this on certain occasions when I worked at my fish store awhile back. Also, how often do you feed live food? If you...

LionFish says...... Well, your Blenny would go first and then the cleaner wrasse would become dinner and depending on the size of the basslet it could become dinner, too. I wouldn't try to get this fish because it would most likely eat the rest of your fish in time. You could get a whole new...

LionFish says..... Yeah, avoid getting two of them. They are pretty territorial towards their own kind. I agree that you should get the Australian. It may cost a bit more but I feel it is worth it. I bought one and it still lives peacefully today.

LionFish says..... They are pretty hardy once acclimatized but they can be a bit difficult to introduce to a tank. If you have good water quality then you should be fine. You should also keep the lights off for a little while. Is the Puffer that mean? If you think it is too aggressive than you...
