    Some More Fuzzy Dwarf Questions...

    Dwarf Lionfish grow pretty slow. Much slower than volitans. If you got it small you would be alright. The shrimp would be at more risk than the goby IMO but there is always a risk.

    Can I keep a small Volitian in a 175 with two 3 inch clowns-?

    I'm willing to bet the lion would never eat the clowns even at max size. Just because a lion could eat the clown doesn't mean they will. Lionfish prefer more smaller meals than 1 giant one but theres always the possibility. I'm keeping a dwarf zebra with 2 small clowns right now. My lion...

    diatom

    R/O water will definitely help. Try to feed a little less for a while and cut down on your light and it should clear up in a few weeks.

    Torn up fin

    I was just feeding my clownfish and Hawaiian blue puffer and out of no where the puffer starts chomping on my clowns left fin. Its all shredded up now, will it grow back? He didn't seem to mind at all, he still swims and goes for food like normal. Please help.

    Help me choose a lion fish!

    I would vote radiata too but again your tank mates might be a problem. Have you considered going with another fish besides the trigger, because it will eventually out grow the tank. I would do a harlequin tusk, they are they one of the best looking fish out there. That plus a radiata and the...

    New 120gal

    Puffers and Triggers are always iffy with lionfish but you did pick the most compatible trigger IMO so it doesn't seem too bad so you have my . If you wanted to be safer I'd go for a Harlequin Tusk, there great looking fish and would get along with the others.

    Gloves or No Gloves???

    I probably would wear gloves but Ive never seen long ones that would go over my whole arm. It would be nice so the salt doesn't dry out my skin or to take the edge off puffer bits

    Black Volatin Lionfish feeding

    The way I found and the way I'm trying as we speak with my new dwarf lionfish is as follows. Really you just want to trick them into eating frozen so I find the key to that is feed in a consistent way all the time. I would take a ghost shrimp, grab it my the tail with tweezers and hold it in...

    Black Volatin Lionfish feeding

    There probably not broken. A lionfish can move its dorsal fins in almost any direction, you'll see this all the time with your lion, there fins can lay flat against there bodies one second and be straight up in the air the next.

    ???????

    From what I know there isn't a common name for this eel since there almost never available in trade. I'm pretty sure that pic is messed up, the eels color is similar to a zebra moray.

    Coralife skimmer Micro Bubbles

    While doing water change an hour ago I decided to clean off my Coralife super skimmer 65. I took it to the bath tub and cleaned off all the salt creep and drained all the water out of it. When I plugged it back in the bubbles went nuts and now the whole bubble tube if full of bubbles and its...
