Mine was about 2 inches when I got him. He loved silversides, clams, squid and mussels. Plus the occasional snail or hermit crab that he liked to hunt and snack on when the lights were off. It took about 3 days before he would only accept food from my hand and demand to be hand fed. Good luck...

I tried 2 LFS near me today looking for mysiss shrimp but couldn't find any. I found some krill that looked like shrimp but wasn't sure if it would be OK or not. The 2nd store I went into I only went into to check for the shrimp and when I asked they told me the krill would be good, but I...

I tried holding some frozen brine shrimp with my fingers that I had thawed out and soaked in vitamins today. At first it didn't want anything to do with them. Finally I got one to swim away as if in a panic using my finger, he circled it and at the last second I released it, and it immediately...

Thanks Thoroughbred, I hadn't thought of that. I'll try it here in a couple of days. This is one of the reasons this site is so great, a lot of good ideas that only people with experience can share.

Thanks, I fed him some ghost shrimp today after I fed them flake food for 2 days. It was really cool watching him hunt them down. I'm still working on frozen and will try again in a couple of days.

Water Parameters are temp-78 degrees, amonia-0 nitrites-0 nitrates-0 ph-8.2 salinity-1.022 His tankmates are foxface, bicolor angel, blue tang, plus assorted hermit crabs and snails in a 150G.

I had him in a 150G and he just loved it.

Mine didn't eat the clams for a week or so either, but finally got hungry enough to start breaking them open to get the food. Are there any snails or hermit crabs in the tank? He might be snacking on them when the lights are off. I caught mine doing it several times.

I used a clear feeding stick tonite with the silversides and still no luck. I had that thing looking like it was swimming for its life but no luck.

#7 my wife saw this and just . Its true!!! Its True!!!!

My porc puffer was hands down my favorite, because of his puppy dog like personality. The 2nd favorite could soon become my dwarf lion.

I tried some small silversides tonite soaked in garlic and he came over and looked at them. If a fish could turn up its nose and frown, really I think that is what he did tonite, I'm not kidding!!! He didn't touch it but swam all around it. I guess it's back to the guessing game again. I went...

I'am currently trying different sizes starting with large and working my way down. So are ghost shrimp a freshwater shrimp? I thought I read on this site somewhere not to feed freshwater to saltwater fish. I could be wrong but just want to double check. I agree with srfisher17, this is a great...

Would I be able to get the ghost shrimp at an LFS? And are they sold live?

About 3 weeks ago i bought a dwarf lion. The LFS had him eat while I was there but unfortunately it was guppies. I know these are not good for it. I tried for about a week, every other day to get it to eat different things. I tried clams out of the shell, silversides, cut up shrimp, etc usually...

Mine loves pellets, and algae sheets, plus whatever it can get off of the rocks. I've had it for about 4 months and I love it. Good luck!!

Mine eats a mixture of pellets and algae sheets. When I put in the algae sheets he goes nuts and devours it. Good luck!!

mine still does, So did mine until he died about 2-3 weeks ago.

Mine used to hunt and snack on snail and hermit crabs too!

My porc puffer got stung by my foxface and lived. Some swelling and inactivity for a couple of days but was just fine after. I've heard it is like a bad beesting if stung. Just be aware of where its at when your hands are in the tank.
