Why do you not like the Fu Manchu is it just their looks or something else? I put on on hold to pick up on 3/25/02 but wanted to asked your advise first.
Thanks Steve

Steve:
I'm not sure what your looking for. Fu's are a nice dwarf lionfish, they are the smallest of the lions. Stay undr 7".
As far as potential negatives: they are very shy lions, I find them hiding most of the time. They don't swim they walk, and they are one of the more aggressive lions toward other lions. In return you get a super neat fish w/ spainish dancer like fins and a very interesting look. They also do something very unique w/ their dorsal spines when they are hunting food.
For me i found them one of the hardest lions to ween over to dead foods (which you wil have to do for any
lionfish), but given enuf patience and dedication you should have success. Last point, as w/ all lionfish, they are venomous, so know where they are when your hands are in the tank
