I would Not, taking into consideration the Powder brown and Mimic are the same species, both Acanthurus Species. Kaye

I'm just wondering about the behavior of my new Snowflake Eel, is it normal for them to be that aggressive and attack a lionfish like that and eventually kill it?? It is not often I hear of a SFE doing this, but Yes I have heard of it. Anytime you keep eels with lions caution needs to be taken...

Is it whitish / milky looking? Kaye

Part of their diet, snails, crabs and so on........ Kaye

Jaw dislocations can happen if they strike an object (rock, glass, etc) when going after food. There is not much you can do. The jaw might set itself. If the dislocation is sustained, the fish might have a hard time eating. Keep an eye on the fish for now. I agree, leave the lion alone for now...

Good Luck, let us know........... Kaye

Raw Shrimp has Iodine, When you fed the Raw shrimp to your lion did it have the shell on and did you leave the tail on? I would try feeding your lion the ghost shrimp, feed the ghost shrimp flake food soaked in vitamins before feeding them to your lion. it sounds like a nutritional deficiency...

gut-loading ghost shrimp with a flake food high in iodine? This may work, but the lion was already getting raw shrimp, possibly another vitamin deficiency. Maybe soak the flake in vitamins before feeding them to the Shrimp. When you fed the shrimp, did you feed with shell on including tail? Kaye

If EVERYTHING is quarantined then ich will never enter the display. Exactly and not just for Ich but Marine Velvet, I do quarantine everything, but did not quarantine Snails once and Yes, I introduced Marine Velvet into my tank, I lost one of my 7 year old clown fish to that .... The worst...

Goiter / Swollen Thyroid .......... Kaye

I'm just curious if he could have hurt his mouth on the feeding stick and is now a little scared of the food? This is possible, try smaller chunks, you will have to feed 2 - 4 smaller chunks per feeding, one of my Volitans will only take very small chunks, it will not even look at large ones, I...

they dont grow too fast Volitans grow fast, with proper feeding and diet a Volitan will reach 12 - 15 inches in around 18 months. Kaye

Lion, Toadfish, Frogfish and other scorpion fish all prey on each other in the wild, it will eventually happen in your tank, who eats who just depends on which is bigger at the time. They are simply not compatible. Frogfish, Anglers require a species only tank, these are not community fish. As...

But he acts like trying to swallow the shrimp hurts and he chokes it up and spits it out and swims away. What have you been feeding your lion? Please list all foods.... Have you been using any vitamins? How often do you feed your lion and How much do you feed? are you feeding large meals or...

Sounds like your lion may have been shedding. How long have you had your lion? What are you feeding and how often? Kaye

The Blackfoot is unlike other dwarfs such as the fuzzy, these are cooler water fish and have a high mortality rate. This lion would require cooler temps, even during shipping, by time they make it to the LFS they have already been kept in warmer water, so chances of survival are slim. They do...

Try feeding after the lights are out, they are night predators, when they are introduced in to our tanks, we train them to our feeding schedule. If your lion is young, I would not let it go to long. Kaye

Maybe your lion was shedding? Was it whitish/milky looking? Kaye

They grow fast (12 - 15 inches) and really do need space, I don't recommend it, Russell's lion looks very, very similar to the Volitan, again fast growers and reach 10 - 12 inches in around 18 months. But a dwarf Species would work well in your 90g. Maybe search Fuzzy Dwarf, you could have a...
