At that tiny size, the mortality rates are very high. Personally, I'd wait for a larger, more robust specimen.

Give it a variety of meaty foods; chopped scallop, squid, octopus, raw shrimp with the shell on, silversides, chunks of clam, small pieces of boneless whitefish, etc.. Avoid using krill except as an occasional treat.

Originally Posted by crypt keeper I was at a LFS and they had two large V lions. They were pointed straight looking into the air. They would swim a little. Then start to point up again. I was there a few weeks ago and they were doing it then as well. Do they normally do this? It's not...

If it is lymph, it will clear up on it's own in time, with good water, good diet and low stress. I'd simply keep an eye on it for awhile.

Doubtful the tank size was a factor. An 8 inch lion would be fine for quite some time in a 75. Rather sedentary fish and you had awhile before it maxed out in size. Tough to say with the color loss. Was the puffer bothering the lion at all? Might have been an internal problem. Krill is realy...

Originally Posted by watersalt I have ich in my tank. I started to notice it a week ago. Wasn't sure what it was then, but now I know. I have 5 damsels, 1 p. puffer, 1 snowflake eel, 5 hermit crabs, 1 sandsifting starfish, and 1 anenome. 2 of the damsels are infected so far. I don't have a QT...

If the lion was only fed live feeders, it may take awhile to wean it to frozen foods but be patient and don't give in to the temptation to feed it goldfish or other freshwater feeders. Offer it small pieces of scallop, table shrimp with the shell on, boneless whitefish, clam, octo, squid...

Originally Posted by trainman how about two different types of lions, i have a v.lion and my wife really likes the fuzzys. my lfs says they would be ok but might have trouble feeding the fuzzy being the volt is so aggresive at feeding times. Risky. A large sized volitans can and will eat a...

Originally Posted by joe____17 Why do most sw jump anyway? Would they do that naturally in the ocean? Certain fish like wrasses, gobies, jawfish, are more skittish than many, and it doesn't take much to make them launch. A sudden scare, trying to get away from an aggressor, etc.. Many eels...

Also my male lineatus. $175.00 fish at the time. Got through a 2 inch by 3 inch opening.

A 30 is really not suited to most dwarf angels with the exception of the pygmy varieties. A pair of clowns, a pygmy angel and one of the smaller bottom dwelling gobies would make for a nice set-up. Angels do best in well established tanks so add it last, after the system has been running for a...

Originally Posted by SYNJAY6661 I heard Crickets are good is that true? ive never tried but i was wondering Crickets won't hurt them, and they are a live prey so the lions take to them readily, but it's not a natural food for them. I'd stick with meaty ocean foods.

I'd consider a small harem of flasher wrasses. Lots of color and movement. An Atlantiic Blue tang will be much too large for your tank. Sixlines are nice little fish but they can become quite nasty once established, even to other fish in place before them. The fairy wrasse would be a good choice...
