We have an undulate in a 300 with several species of fish...Lionfish, damsels, wrasses and also a SFE. They all get along fine and the undulate seems to know who tankmates are versus the feeders we add. Ours has gotten so spoiled that he won't go after feeders anymore, he just sits and waits...

I don't know where your tank is located in your home, but we have a 125 in our den that sits close to our sofa. We had a ribbon eel that disappeared that way and we searched and searched only to find him on cleaning day when I moved the furniture to vacuum under the sofa. Needless to say he...

We had a SFE for about 6 yrs and all of what you describe is normal behavior. The only thing I would suggest is that try feeding him some squid. We buy the frozen squid and thaw out portions that we feel the SFE can eat and he would go crazy for it. It was the one item we found he would eat...

Brad, being here in Florida and next to the coast we had the luxury of catching a small barracuda at about 1/2" long. We caught him in Jan and by March we had to turn him back to the ocean. He was going on a good 18" when released and he ate like a pig!! We enjoyed him while we had him, but...

Interesting!! I have 3 Black Volitans and they are my favorites...but they started out as black, not red and turn black. would love to see a pic.

I must correct a statement I made..I used the term live feeders forgetting that most people do not have local access to the ocean, when I stated live feeders I was speaking of saltwater ocean feeders such as small grunts, some small pinfish, and the likes. We also catch our own saltwater shrimp...

If water quality is bad they will get an eye infection and it can cause them to lose their eye completely. Do you have any other fish that may have picked at him or stuck him in the eye? Could he have gotten scared and run into a rock or substrate that could have injured him?

Why is everyone against live feeders for the lionfish? Isn't this its natural food in the wild? Granted we all can't get live feeders as I can in Florida, but to make it starve so you can chose its food for it seems so cruel at times. I have 5 Lionfish at the present, 3 Volitans, 1 Russelli...

Beautiful Foxface...We have 1 in our 300 that will eat Shrimp, Fish, or other meaty products if so desired but loves his veggies! We drop a handful of calerpa in for him every few days and he has no problem cleaning it up either. At night he lays back in the rocks and camoflages himself for...

Wow! Consider it clicked...I lost my youngest sister to [hr] cancer almost 8 yrs ago..She had just turned 40 the month before we lost her. We were fortunate, being a big family, that all of us were with her for her last moment. Its hard to watch someone go through it and a great relief when...

We never just throw food in for our fish...We cut up bits of shrimp and feed them piece by piece so we don't have food rotting on the bottom. As for overfeeding, you are right the porcupine will eat and eat and eat, but when you see he's getting a full belly not overfull then you stop...

Grouperhead, I post on several, not a lot but only other name would be bidder47...Otherwise, I'm always Betts...but my husband posts a lot with other sites as MDandaneau or Conogre...Maybe thats what you have seen...

Best way to know if he's eat enough is to watch for the protruding tummy!! Like us humans, he will get a little pouch when he has had plenty to eat. If he looks hollow or thin just feed it a few more. Better to have them a bit full than to starve them because we want to watch their weight.

All I can tell you is its not scientifically described yet...or we haven't located its true identity...All I can tell you is its a scorpion fish and if you can help me beyond that it would be appreciated.

My Predator Tank is really looking scary!! This is the newest addition along with 2 more small lionfish. It can't get any better!

Must say, you have accomplished 1 miracle in itself...Since shrimp and crustaceans are a number 1 food for the Lunear Wrasse and the Eel, I'm surprised he has lived this long. The pic you have doesn't show me a SFE...it looks more like a chainlink eel... We have both a Lunear Wrasse and a...

Oh, this is good!! Yes we have had our flood!! We have a 125 that had been up for better than a year. My husband decided to take a life insurance policy out one day, paid the first premium and the early hours of the morning heard a strange noise. He went to investigate and found the bottom...

Ok..this is my Black Lion! LOL..

try this pic again!!

Are you talking about the Black Lionfish? Tried to find what you call a blackfoot lion and can't find that puppy! As for FMarini, he belongs to ReefCentral forum and has a lot of good info on lions there. Since his posts he has lost his tank due to a heater that went on the blitz. But he is...
