well as anyone on here that has posted questions about lions knows I love my lions.
any ways on with the story,a couple weeks ago hubby purchased a 3-4 in dragon wrasse.we placed him into a 75 gal FOWLR house just a black moray eel.a weel later hubbyu found a beautifil lunar wrasse he just had to have,I warned him repetedly about mixing wrasse fish into one tank especially a dragon and a lunar both very agressive fish.the lunar being 5-6 inches in length he thought they would be ok.never minding my thoughts on this he placed them both together.they ddi fine for about a week together then yesterday i noticed my dragon no longer had a tail.I had to make a choice for replacement of this poor thing. before he became a full snack for the lunar right?
I also own 3 1/2 other tanks which i could place him.hmm where to be safe.125 has agressive also but on a much larger scale cant go there.12 in lion would eat him for sure.ok so i have a 120 reef nope not reef safe.hmm 1/2 tank which is fron sump for my reef has a spotted ray but no good no tops on it wrasses love to carpet surf.ok last but not least a 90 FOWLR smaller lion lots of rocks to hide him with lids.ok so that problem solved right?so i thought.well this morning as i turned on all the tank lights all the fish come out time to food .nothing new here .but wait smaller lion doesnt want any.hmm very odd hes a pig,i take a closer look hes huge tummy all in a square like shape.ohh no.well i know you can all guess why lionelle wasnt hungry.oh btw dragon wrasse is no more.
