lion is probably around 8-10 inches and the shrimp was about 2-3 inches or so.

my lionfish hasn't eaten for like 2 weeks. sometimes he'll hang completely upside down for a long time. sometimes he'll just float to the top on its side. last time i fed him he ate a large shrimp i bought at the seafood market. could that large shrimp maybe have thorns that punctured his...

just wondering if it is normal for a "close to adult" emperor to have 2 nostil like openings or holes right in between the eyes. is this a sign of head erosion? any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

the emp is about 5" now. i've been feeding it mysis shrimp, seaweed select, frozen brine, frozen blood worms, dried krill, dried shrimp, spirulina flakes, formula 1 and 2 flakes, enhanced frozen brine, and recently, angel formula. also, recently, i've been using zoecon every week and zoe daily...

i bought a juvi emperor like a 1.5 years ago and haven't fed him sponge based food (angel formual) until recently. he is currently changing into an adult and i think he's almost done. is it too late for him to develop all the colors he's suppose to have since he didn't get sponge until now? it...

my tank has been set up for 2 years and i've had my lionfish ever since then. i tried feeding him some frozen brine shrimp but he doesn't seem interested. he seems very aggressive because when my emperor gets kinda close, he'll go after the emp, attempting to bite him to scoot him away. here are...

i fed my lionfish some dried krill and now the left gill is swollen towards the bottom. i was in a rush so i didn't soak the krill fully until it was soft. i saw him eat it and somehow it got stuck (seemed like the krill was too big for it). eventually it went down somehow. i tried feeding him...
