Got some random shots of my buddy, Jame's, fish...was in Chicago over the weekend and had to bring back pics.
Tank contains a 10" Scorpionfish (the big red/orange one in the last pic), a Sea Goblin, a Fu Manchu, a Zebra, a Fuzzy and soon to be an Antennata. Also, not pictured, are a male/female pair of Rogue Waspfish.

Very beautiful pics. I would expect nothing less from you. Ha! What size of tank? What other lions can a person mix with a fuzzy dwarf? Thanks aw2x3

It's a 90gal. tank. He has just about every Lion you can find, except for the Volitan. The Antennata is still in quarentine (James is a freak, when it comes to quarentine...I'm talking like 6 month quarentine for one fish). Anyway...his Antennata is just a few weeks from moving into the tank.
The fish get along great, with the Scorp. being the biggest pig. He has it training that it can see the feeder stick from 6' away and it knows it's gonna get fed and automatically comes to the top of the tank.

Kaye,
The third pic is of a Sea Goblin. It was the hardest fish he's ever trained to frozen. He actually tried to sell it because it wouldnt go to frozen, after like 9 months. Recently, only, did it start eating frozen and he decided to keep it.
This guy (my friend, James) is known to get everything from Ambon Scorps to Wartskin Anglers onto frozen with a few weeks of having them. I dont know how he does it, but he always manages it.

That is a sweet fish and congrats to him on getting this fish on frozen foods.
Since Anglers and Lions are predators of one another, the difference of who eats who is just dependant on which is bigger at the time. Has he had any problems with this that you know of or are they all about the same size?

I've known him for 2+ years and in that time, he's never had any deaths by other fish eating them. The Anglers that he's kept have all been in species only tanks, with one individual per tank.
His Lion/Scorp tank has not had any casualties. "Fanny the Fatty", as the large Scorp is called, is easily 10" and shows no interest in bothering the other fish. I actually have pics of her laying on top of the Sea Goblin. As soon as she sees James' hand above the tank, she's at the top, waiting to be fed.
He also has a hexagon tank (somewhere in the 100gal. range), that contains 2 Hawaiian Leaf Fish, 2 Cockatoo Waspfish and a still unidentified Scorpion, that I bought him over a year ago. The tank was too dirty to get pics of those.

All gorgeous fish! That Fu Manchu is SO much darker than mine (mine is brilliant red), it is cool to see how different they can be though! That Sea Goblin is awesome! Tell your friend, congrats!
