How many out there keep lions? Any kind, any age. Show some pics as well.

Tell me, do you have a sense of apotheosis, at having the record for the longest documented time of successfully keeping a bluefin? :-)

Just in case..... I know him and that's my way of applauding his accomplishment.

That heterura is amazing! Maybe one day I'll own one :)
I'd also love to get my hands on a yellow fuzzy dwarf. I've been after one for years!

Something like angels singing and wine flowing freely? Nope, haven't experienced that yet.

Wow, those are some amazing lions. That blue fin(?) is crazy, I have never seen one. I don't want to play after the heavyweights show off!

I just added a fuzzy dwarf to my 150g reef. What an awesome fish! My lion is tiny, like 1.5". The LFS he came from already had him eating pellets too. I will post pics this evening

This is right up my alley. Eye candy. In my build, I won't be getting a lion fish as it will be a peaceful reef, but that doesn't mean I won't integrate it into my design. This is a pic of what I want to do with my stand doors. Not sure if I want to inlay it or burn it into the wood itself.

Leo was 10+ when he suddenly past. I do have another pair in a 75 I put in a high school class room that will likely move to this 180 in at the end of this school year as long as they are large enough. Smartest fish ever. Not sure why on earth I started but he would eat large pellets out of my hand and never hit me with a spine.
