Awesome! Thank you so much for your help. I know a lot of people feed krill and frozen silversides, but my grocery store has a large selection of seafood at very reasonable prices, and I am very much a fish eater myself, so it would be super convenient if I could feed the both of us on the...

Hey all, I'm not even a little close to actually buying a lionfish yet, but I had a few questions about food while I'm still doing research. 1) I am thinking about feeding live fish as more of a treat. Would it be okay to breed (saltwater acclimated) mollies and feed them periodically without...

Well, that's a relief. I was looking at waay more money than I needed too, haha. I really like the idea of having snails and hermit crabs in my tank. I would probably start out with a few bigger (and cheaper) hermits to see if my lion was even interested in them to start. What specific...

I'm more familiar with freshwater tanks than saltwater tanks, but aren't snails supposed to be dangerous for a tank? I thought that it was really difficult to keep them clean from parasites. I know that I need a protein skimmer, a pretty large filter, about 110 lbs of live rock, and about 55...

Haha! You are quite right. I do have a love for anything weird. And actually, seahorses are something I have been looking into quite a bit. The problem being that supposedly they have a lot of babies, and after a certain point, I don't think I would know what to do with all of those babies...

Hmm. That's really interesting. Maybe I would be better suited for a lionfish. I think that's what I might do. Sorry for the repeated flip-flopping, guys, hahaha. That way, when I inevitably want a bigger tank down the line, it seems like I will have a lot more options as far as tankmates...

Thanks so much for the help! I think I want a snowflake eel for sure. They just seem so fascinating to me. Now, is there any type of other, more active fish that I can keep with it? I do think a lot of the smaller, more colorful fish are really amazing. Would it be possible to have a medium...

Thanks so much for the replies! The Foxface and Rabbitfish are actually pretty cool. I hadn't looked at those before, they're very pretty. Also, I positively love Lionfish, my dad had one when I was growing up, and I always thought that they were amazing. But I've been told by several people...

Hey all! I've been researching fish for quite some time now, and I decided to join this lovely forum to get some more information. I have a 55 gallon tank that I have not used for quite some time now, and I decided that it would be neat to start my first saltwater aquarium. My question is this...
