lions can be sulky when their environment is messed with They sure can ........ I agree, try and try again with the foods, if your lion is young (small), you may want to try feeding smaller chunks, see if this will work, try a variety such as Krill, frozen Sand Eels, Raw Shrimp, Octo, Squid...

How can you protect yourself from getting stung? Just look every time your hand goes in your tank, Take it slow and be careful. Can you die from getting stung by a Fuzzy Dwarf lionfish? This info if from Lionfish Envenomations and the Aquarist / James W. Fatherree In a series of 101...

I just can't get over him being 8 inches and curling up in that tiny cave looking dead. That's a Bird wrasse for you, mine will take breaks during the day and lay on the rocks, there are times I still have to walk over to the tank, just to double check They need a variety of food plus...

Give your wrasse time and keep an eye on things, mine will do this from time to time when stressed. Just to add, Bird wrasses may bury themselves in the sand, so if you see a tail or fin sticking out of your sand, or you don't see it at all, just watch for it and don't panic right away with this...

If keeping a lion and you want a trigger this is a pretty easy going trigger, and one I would recommend, not as risky as other species. All of the Xanthichthys Species are pretty easy going. What size tank do you have? Triggers are fast simmers, messy eaters that produce quite a bit of waste...

Bluethroats, Crosshatch, Sargassum, the Xanthichthys Species really is generally well behaved when it comes to lions, not to often you hear about one of these snapping. Pinktails and Nigers are more risky, especially with maturity. Personally I keep a Pinktail with my lions, have for years...

The Taenianotus Triacanthus / Leaf Scorpionfish / Leaf Fish, is a great fish that only reaches about 4 inches. I kept these before lions and loved em Can be very tough to get eating frozen foods, it took me a long time to even get them eating, and many times they never make the change, but if...

Other way around, Bluethroat, Sargassum, Crosshatch are best but Durgeon seems to work pretty well also, Niger and Pinktail are OK but have been known to turn on lions, keep an eye on them, watch the lions fins, "huma huma or picasso" are No No's. Kaye

Yes, Angels are known to pick at lions, it will just depend on the fish, I have never combined the two myself. If an angel is added, just watch the situation, keep a close eye on the Lions fins, see if they are getting picked at, even if it does not happen tomorrow it may in a year. Just never...

He would get very demanding and hit the top of the aquarium until I would feed him. I have one in my 90g that does this, it will hit the top, slam into rocks, it is out of control and very hard to handle, it will kill other lions but great with all other fish. I still only feed every 2-3 days...

Look at these threads..... https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/t/262525/blackfoot-lionfish Kaye

Thanks all........ I was surprised and it was really unexpected, especially when I allow space for territories and the tank is not over crowded. Kaye

Title says it all, Yesterday I seen the Bluethroat take a dash at my Pinktail, my pinktail turned white and went after him. I let the situation calm down, than again last night, the same thing happened, well this time the Pinktail killed him, it was so fast, there was no stopping it. It took...

How is your lion? Kaye

Keep a eye on him, hope the lion regurgitates the shell, Do not feed again right away, you do not want food blocked. Look at this thread about a lion eating a clam .... https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/t/259700/lionfish-ate-clam-now-what Kaye

Here is my fuzzy, the eyes do not look clear, but they really are clear, like you said "His are 'cloudy' but more like in a reflective way". Maybe just watch him over the next few days and see how it goes........ Very nice fuzzy BTW. Kaye

I have some maracyn plus is that the same thing? I know you can use Maracyn 2 with the cloudy eyes, I am not familiar with maracyn plus. So the antibiotics you are talking about are pellet form? They are capsules. What if I soaked his food in the maracyn would that work? I have never soaked...

If you see cloudy eyes it is a sign of bacterial infection, treat. I use K-Mycin/Kanamycin, very easy to use, treat for 5 - 7 days. If treating in the water, directions are on the package, Do Not treat the display tank. I treat orally in the display, and use it in the food, I take shrimp, make...

Hard to tell from the Pictures, I would say Acreichthys Tomentosus/Bristle Tail/Green, But it could be a Aluterus Schoepfii/Orange Filefish. Can you get a clear Picture? If it is Acreichthys Tomentosus, they are great at controlling Aiptasia, and stay smaller, the Aluterus Schoepfii gets...

My stocking choices for your tank (assuming all lion tank) would be: Radiated / Clearfin - 9-10 inches - 65g Antennata / Spot-finned lion - 8-9 inches - 55g Fuzzy Dwarf - 7-8 inches - 30g This would give you a variety plus offer these lions space, Radiata & Antennata are beautiful lions, they...
