hello there fellow okie, i just picked up a baby dlf that is about an inch long so i call him peanut, the sad thing is he only comes out when lights are out and he is a fast little bugger. it took two people to catch him

hot883, you have a reef tank right? I thought that even a dwarf lion would eventually get to your corals, am I wrong? They will eat shrimp too tho right? (aka cleaner shrimp, etc)

Aelene. I do have a reef. Yes, the fuzzy will eat shrimp and any fish that will fit in her mouth but think she will not eat my corals.

he is a cute little guy

 

[nemo6108]

how big is your tank??

 

[babyb]

i am about 30 min outside of okc so were like 2 ish hours away(i think) i sure hope he gets used to me lastnight he took out a pepermint shrimp that is the same size of him so i guess that makes him a tuff one
how long have you had your lion again

 

[hot883]

Nemo, the tank is a 125, double overflow rref ready all glass w/ 150 gallon rated sump/refugium and I use 520w of P.C.'s for lighting.
BabyB, tough little guy he is indeed. I got mine in OKC at the reef warehouse (around the corner from Mathis Bros. Furn. on the 18th of this month.

Ok, so today I actually got her to eat a freeze dried krill. More of instinct then desire; I will explain.
I tried feeding dried krill before and she was not interested at all. So I ordered some "garlic extreme", soaked a piece in there and tried to feed her. I placed it in the tank, not interested, I went on to feed the others in the tank. The piece of krill got caught by the overflow box so I dislodged it and threw it in above the lion. Instantly snatched it up and wolfed it down.
Up til now, i have been feeding her 1-2 small ghost shrimp every 2-3 days.
