May have been Sleeping? Mine do look washed out when they are perched during the day, heck they even sleep belly up, floating at the water surface..... Are you feeding the ghost shrimp some thing nutritional before feeding them to your lion? How often are you feeding your lion? What size...

was wondering if I could have more the one female in the tank? I think I read that you can have 1 male and 2 females to a tank. You can have more than one female, but it is not that easy, the problem is females can become males. So if you have two females, and one turns male, than one of the...

It's a good Day!!! Now all you have to do is sit back and enjoy. Kaye

What type of diet (all foods including greens) has your trigger been eating over the past year? Are you soaking your foods in vitamins? Kaye

A 30g is what is recommended, this lion reaches 6 - 8 inches, but it will not reach this size over night, lions are messy fish and create quite a bio-load. With that said, you can put a zebra lion into a 30g and probably for a few years, just don't over crowd the tank with other fish...

Very Nice, Looks Good!!! Kaye

I believe the variety I'm looking at will get to be 4-6". If this is a Fu Man Chu lion that you are looking at than One per tank, this is not a lion that should be mixed. Lions should not be kept with any fish that can fit in the lions mouth. In a 55g avoid Triggers, Puffers, Eels, Frogfish...

Very Nice Kaye

It's fine to feed your lion crickets, just not a staple diet of crickets, I do feed crickets, but as a treat not a main part of their diet. My trigger and wrasses go nuts when I feed crickets. Kaye

Lions will keep eating, feed just until you see a slight bulge in the stomach area. If you are using ghost Shrimp, feed them some thing nutritional before feeding them to your lion. You can feed them Flake, Pellets, Cylopezee, meaty foods and so on..... If you want to try another live food you...

This lion does not have the growth rate of the Volitan, if you get this lion small, it will grow pretty fast in the first couple of years but at around 4 - 5 inches the growth rate slows down. You could easily get away with a 55g or 75g for the life of your lion. If you go a 75g you could have...

I have seen articles that state 10 - 12 years or 15 years and longer, from my understanding of this fish, in our tanks the average life expectancy is 5 - 7 years. What did your lions diet consist of, including vitamins? What size tank? What do you keep your SG at? How often did you feed your...

Radiata can be tough to keep, they do not tolerate poor water quality, watch the shipping of these lions, they do not ship well. Keep your water tip top, they can be tough to get on frozen foods unlike the volitan. You can try the ghost shrimp along with fiddler crabs, make sure to feed the...

I agree, the lion was shedding it's cuticle, a sign there may have been a problem, they do this for many reasons, poor water quality, parasites, are just two, chances are it was not the lion. Did you add the UV sterilizer because of a parasite in the tank? Any cleaners used around the tank (such...

Weaning a dwarf zebra is the same as a fuzzy dwarf, if your lion is young it needs foods, young lions can starve to the point of no return. They cannot go long without food. I just got a young dwarf zebra How long did the LFS have it before you brought it home? Hmmmmm, Lions will normally go...

What other wrasse do you have in with them? I don't have any other wrasses with them, my male would kill another wrasse or any slender looking fish. I took him in because he killed other fish, I have never had a problem but I would not push him either. Kaye

I introduced my Male first, I had no problems in doing this, when introducing the female, I placed her in a clear plastic container, floated her during acclimation, he would check her out, but there was no negative reaction from him. This is something you may want to try before dropping her...

The feeding stick is actually called a feeding prong, they cost around 3.00 or so, I prefer Raw shrimp over Krill and add scallops, whiting, ocean perch chunks, squid or octo to the diet along with the raw shrimp, variety is best. I just place the food on the stick and let the lion come to me...

Umm, I count 6 stripes. You included 6 in both the male and female criteria. Which is it? I would say female, but time will tell, adult males also have a larger head and longer pectoral fins. As for feeding, I think "she" is eating frozen mysis. Since your lion is young, I do not think mysis...

what is the best thing and way to "gut load" the ghost shrimp? Just by feeding the ghost shrimp something nutritional before feeding them to your fish, you can feed the ghost shrimp, cyclopeze, any meaty food, flakes or pellets. Kaye
