Wow Crazz, beautifull ladies you have there!!!!! Very nice lions, Wade, Barry, Lion and Murph!!! :cheer:

Taznut, beautiful male you got there!
Wade, no hunting just perched. Thats her favorite spot to "monitor" traffic. Ha!

Sorry, guys... bonehead question alert:
How are you sexing this fuzzy little cuties? Did I see early on that you're counting something? :notsure:

 

[lion_crazz]

To --- a fuzzy dwarf lionfish, just count the bars on their fins.
Female = 4-6 bars
Male = 6-10 bars
Males also have larger heads.

Thanks Lion_Crazz!

Wow..they all look great! I want one soooo bad!

 

[sepulatian]

Nice pics guys!!!!!

 

[sepulatian]

Quil, I hate to bring bad news, but yours looks like it has a bit of popeye.

 

[quil]

Yeah, she was actually pretty sick when I took those pictures...they're probably six or seven months old. She is a real trooper, and has been doing well since.

Quil... Is Alaska Aquarium still the best fish store in Anchorage... Or maybe house of critters out in dimond?
