Would like to see a pic of this guy...I have 2 Black Lions and they are doing great along with a Scorpionfish, a False Stone Fish, a Fuzzy Dwarf and a small Russelli...

This is my 125 aggressive tank...

Are you talking about the LR turning a light purple or is it a purple velvet looking mass growing? Does it look as if the rock is changing color or that something is visibly growing? I ask because of the different types of algaes in the tanks, some good some not.

Yep, thats a toad fish!! We catch those quite often here in Florida when we take our net out. In fact there is one in my tank now and we just released 2 back to nature. The emperor snapper should be ok as long as you feed him well to keep his growth up, otherwise it will be lunch for the toad...

Logan, Ours has gone from 3 -5 days, but don't like that when its been a big eater to begin with. Was it eating at all before you purchased it? For a newbie to the tank, I think I would worry a bit myself after 3 days. But thats me. I like to see them start eating right away.

Believe it or not, hands are in the tank quite often..either cleaning the glass or feeding and these guys are so mellow with us that they don't bother with us. In fact the Stone fish has been made to move with just wiggling the fingers at him to clean where he might have been sitting. But I...

Nothing more than watch, learn and enjoy...No one is perfect and we all learn by our mistakes and some can be costly, but thats how life works. Don't give up, just keep enjoying. The lions for me are the most graceful and relaxing fish you could get to watch. Sure calms me down! LOL...

Yes its normal for him to hang at the filters some...Ours did but the more ours settled in the less he hung at the filter.

Here's the next one

Gotta post these 2 pics and ask, Do they look aggressive enough? I said it was only a face a mother could love, and needless to say she got rid of them in a hurry too!! LOL...This is our Scorpion Fish (Stony) and our False Stone Fish (Diablo) They are always together in the tank. They are in...

I will agree on the freshwater feeders, not good, but sometimes in a pinch if not a permanant thing. As I said before, we live near the ocean so its easy for us to get saltwater feeders...Thats what we prefer and its really what our fish prefer...between small feeder pennys and little blue...

LOL...sign of hunger is when he starts chasing the feeder!! Couldn't resist that one.

Logan, We have a dwarf lion in our tank and had one previous to this one. We have had no problem feeding either by just dropping live feeders in and letting him hunt...they always manage to catch their food. We are at an advantage living in Florida as we go out to the beach and net our live...

Ok..here I am...the newbie to the forum...couldn't resist after looking at all the others. Betts

We have a 125 that is our predator tank and in it we have 2 small volitans, a black and a real dark brown one that stay together in a cave and come out when the lights are out. We also have a small dwarf lion in with them. Along with a Scorpionfish, a False Stone Fish, A Maroon Clown and a...

Everyone has heard of the heimlich (not sure of spelling here guys) maneuver when someone chokes? You know, grabbing around the body and applying force, pushing object up and out of the throat or mouth...With the fish we jokingly call it the fishlick maneuver...I know....booooo...but it worked...

Its interesting to get so many different strategies used on our water friends! Whether we thaw out their food or just toss it in frozen? My preference is to thaw it, but by doing this I take the time to also sit and watch them eat. Only time I would throw frozen in would be if I was in a...

And still in the same tank...another of my joys

My favorite pic...talk about buddies!!

This is my pride and joy...I love em'
