    Dwarf Lion sitting vertical in tank?

    Half the time, normally only bothers to move when i come close in the mornings - he knows its food time! He moves around 3-4 different spots normally, and changes throughout the day. He swims around for about half an hour at a time i think, then goes and sits on the rocks, or with his tail...

Night 2 pinches of pellets, or a bit more depending on how...

    My new 85 gal tank

He said they have been growing over the time hes had them...

    Air Bubbles throughout whole tank

    I have done a little more research this morning and I have found that maybe our overflow isnt filled enough. The water level in the overflow (which is in the corner of the tank with holes in the bottom going down to sump) is only about half way up the tank Would this be contributing to the...
