well if your dwarf is big it will go right after the damsels.But if the dwarf is small,he wont eat them.......in a few more months he will eat them
.NEVER feed your lion a freshwater feeder fish!

just look at things this way, if the lion can fit the damsels in its mouth, your damsels won't be around long.
If the damsels can outswim the lion, then the damsels might be around a while. Lastly, if the damsels are big and the lion is small, then the damsels might be around for a long haul (hopefully the damsels don't harass the lion)

i dont have to worry about it for a few more days cause when the lions got here one was dead and the other died within the first hour i got it in the tank.

:happyfish Wow, both died? What are your water parameters? Were you just finished cycling? Please post your stats. I wouldn't take it out on ***********, I've had good success with them. Sorry for your losses, that can be devestating.

You just said one died an hour after you put it in the tank! Did you not acclimate them properly? No, I dont mean floating the bag, I mean acclimate them.
