WOW, That is Great to hear....... Mouth damage heals pretty fast, so your new lion should be good to go Thursday. Good Luck, Kaye

So basically you are saying that the fuzzy will be 'easier' and less shy? Right, along with not shipping as well and tougher to get on frozen foods. That is pretty small, take some consideration with this dwarf, it may need food. Try gut loaded ghost shrimp or fiddler crabs with this lion as...

Fuzzy dwarf really is easier than the Fu Man Chu, Here is what Frank M. said about the Fu Man Chu. Fu Man Chu lionfish - The Fu Man Chu lionfish is one of the more difficult lionfish to keep in the home aquarium because they ship very poorly and they don't readily wean from live to prepared...

Waiting to hear .... I Got It! I Got It! Here are the Pictures ? Kaye

Awwww, R.I.P Little Fuzzy ........ Sorry sorry to hear that, Kaye

Do they ever captive breed these guys? No, not to my knowledge, I wish they did though.... Good Luck, Kaye

I have a blue throat with my Pinktail, my blue throat is not even half the size of my Pinktail, this is in my 300g, so they have room for territories, actually they are the only two in the tank that establish territories. If you are planning on placing them in your 75g, make sure they have...

He is upsidedown in the back of the tank, not perched on a rock, just upsaide down on the sand, between some rocks and the glass. I am pulling for him but it does not sound good....... Good Luck! I agree, it is not just the shipping but everything along the way, from the time they catch the...

So who is a safer bet an Indian or a Niger? Indian Trigger ........ Nigers can be OK with lions, but as they mature they seem to get a little whacked out when it comes to lions. Kaye

'swollen' belly Is the belly on your lion swollen? If YES, Medicate........... Kaye

should i put some of that maracyn stuff in the tank just in case? Only you can make this call, since you can visually see the lion, but you do not want to treat just because. From everything you are describing, there are no visible signs it is bacterial. Are you sure it is not just sleeping...

Ahhhhhh the Melichthys Species (Indian, Durgon, Pinktail) when you combine the Melichthys Species with lions, there is always a risk. My personal experience has been great with this combination. I have had my Pinktail for a few years now and I keep it with my lions, but I offer this trigger...

How long until he will want to eat again? When my lions are young, they go around one week refusing food, as adults they seem to go anywhere from 2 - 4 weeks without eating. I don't think your water is the problem, your lion is still very new, I would look at problems that may occur during...

I would not risk 3 together, it can be tough to keep one, 3 is trouble. And personally I would never recommend keeping a ribbon eel, they are extremly difficult to keep. Kaye

It is possible your lion is shedding, they will look faded and not hungry, they shed for many reasons, health, diet, water quality and so on...... Considering you have only had him 1 1/2 weeks, it may be shedding because of water quality through shipping. If your lion is shedding, watch for...

The Radiata /white finned lionfish/clear finned, is a beautiful lion, they are not the easiest lion to keep, these take patience when weaning to frozen foods, for live you can try Ghost shrimp (feed them something nutritional first), fiddler crabs, even try crickets. For frozen I would try...

Many say you cannot --- zebras, Yet, others will disagree and claim, they are sexed like the fuzzy dwarfs. So lets look at both, so you can decide. If you Can --- a zebra, than the same rule would apply as the fuzzy dwarfs, One Male per tank, and the rest should be females. So, in your 90g, you...

Yes, my daughter came over when I was not home and called me "I think all your lions died" LOL Lions have been known to do this in the wild, they will float under seaweed clumps, spines down for protection. Kaye

It sounds like Lockjaw, this is seen more in Lions and Puffers than triggers, it comes down to diet (Iodine Deficiency). A staple diet of anything will lead to health problems overtime, they need a variety of foods, Raw Shrimp with shell on, Crab, Scallops, a white fish such as Whiting, Octo...

Would you consider a dwarf lion of some sort for your tank? When looking at a Volitan, keep in mind, they will reach 12 - 15 inches in about 18 months, very fast growers, and are very messy fish. You will be amazed at how fast they outgrow their tank-mates, yes, many tank-mates become meals...
