LionFish says..... Well, I'll tell ya what I feed all my aggressive fish. I feed mine: chopped squid, krill, shrimp, and silversides. All my fish love silversides the most but they also really enjoy clam and mussel meat which I feed them occasionally. I have never fed mine crayfish though. I'm...

LionFish says...... Why not? You have a large enough tank. I'm throwing the one I have into my 180 and I have him in my 70 gallon right now. They need a minimum of a 100 gallon tank. You have abig enough tank. If you're worried about the Trigger getting him you have nothing to worry about. If...

LionFish says...... I've got 2 words for ya. Harlequin Tusk. Has to be a favorite of mine and it is incredibly awesome and colorful. You want a neat fish with awesome colors then you should check this fish out.

LionFish says....... Well, lionfish are aggressive fish but they are predatory hunters so they like the food to go by them. Some come up to eat food off the top but usually it takes awhile for them to start this habit. Did you ask your fish store what they fed the lion before you bought? You...

LionFish says...... Well, I have been looking into the Hogfish family. I especially like the Cuban and Spanish Hogfish. If they are as friendly as they sound I should definitely try these fish. I have never seen a Diana Hogfigh before. All hogfish sound really cool though. I'll have to get one...

LionFish says...... The Batfish and puffer are very negotiable at the time. The Puffer would bite at the fins and I should have known better. However, I still don't think the Batfish would fit in with the others. How many times have you seen a Batfish with an Emperor Angel, Raccoon Butterfly...

LionFish says...... The Marine Betta will be one of the fish I pick. I think they are pretty cool. I will probably get a Raccoon Buttefly and a couple of tangs. Can't decide which angel to get though. It is between the Emperor or Rock Beauty. Kinda leaning towards the Emperor for a tank this...

LionFish says...... I'm not quite sure yet. I haven't talked with the administrators about it yet. I found some people with 119 posts and they already were a Black Volitan. This new system is kinda confusing.

LionFish says..... Well, lets see here. The eel won't eat. Sounds pretty normal to me. It takes all new fish a little time to readily accept food. Eels can go about 5 or 6 days(probably more) without eating. They must adjust to their new surrounding like all fish do. If it doesn't eat in the...

LionFish says...... Yeah, that BlackTip sounds tempting. LOL! But I don't need to keep this one freshwater. I have had just about all the freshwater fish I have seen around here. I do want to get an Australian Arrowana but I don't have the space in my 70 gallon with my 2 Silver Dollars, 2...

LionFish says...... Nah, not all lions would be alright in a 75 gallon. A Volitans would be too big for a tank of 75 gallons. I have one in my 125 gallon with an Antennata and they get along alright. I would stick with the Dwarf but you could probably get a Radiata or an Antennata. The Radiata...

LionFish says...... I'm glad that you mentioned Anthias. I has completely forgot about them. They are one of my favorites and now I have enough room to get one without it being killed or eaten. I really like the Longnose Butterfly and the Raccoon Butterfly. They are pretty cool. Are also like...

LionFish says..... Well, Trey, you always seem to amaze me with all your answers. So, lets see here. I have been seriously pondering about what to do with my new tank. I have thought about fish, the kind of set-up, rock, sand, and just about everything alse. I have decided to make it a FOWLR...

LionFish says..... Well, I got the tank ofr $200. It was a freshwater tank so I didn't get anything besides the tank. The guy is keeping the stand as a very large dresser. It will be an awesome tank when I get it set-up. Yeah, I was thinking about schooling fish. Maybe a giant school of Chromis...

LionFish says...... Well folks it seems as if good ole LionFish got some really good fortune today. A guy that I know wants to get rid of his 180 gallon tank and I told him I would take it off of his hands. SO, I thought to myself, "Well, I have always picked basically all the fish I have bought...

LionFish says..... Well, I'll tell ya that a tank that small won't be too good for 2 triggers and a lion. What kind of lion is it? Is it a Red Volitan or is it an Antennata? If it is either you will want a bigger tank. Yhose triggers get pretty big. It would work for a little while but after...

LionFish says...... Chelives, Executor was asking about Chainlinks. Oh, well. I personally like the little buggers. They usually exceed 20 inches and above. Don't know how fast they grow, but I've been told that they grow realtively slow. Like all eels they need a varied diet consisting of small...

LionFish says...... Glad to hear that your lion ate. Sometimes it can be hard but if you keep trying it almost always works. About the live food. I feed all my lions one or two goldfish every week or two. I space it so far apart so that they don't think they will only get to eat live food. If...

LionFish says..... I haven't ever tried it but I doubt if it would work. Dwarf Lions get up to 7 inches and that doesn't leave a lot of room for the fish to move. Especially if it is a lionfish with those giant fins which take up a lot of space. They really need a minimum of a 55 gallon tank to...

LionFish says..... Well, hermit crabs are kinda like appetizers to lionfish. Almost all lions will eat hermit crabs. However, to keep the glass clean I would highly recommend Trochus snails as they get to be gigantic. You could ask your fish store if they have any or if they are gonna order any...
