Picked up this little guy today :)

He started eating nori, my homemade food and grazing the rocks within half an hour of being in the tank. He is picking on my puffer a little bit too, but I don't think it's anything too serious.
I'm happy with him so far!

my g/f has always wanted one and i always say no !!! lol...pretty fish though, looks nice!

 

[merlberg]

[emoji7][emoji7] I love it :) I want one too lol. It's really pretty.

 

[merlberg]

Btw What is the homemade food you make?

 

[tyler1503]

One of the dream fish I can cross off the list. Next stop, yellow fuzzy dwarf lion!
This guy has been settling in really well so far. He's swimming around like he owns the place :)
Merlberg, I'll PM you the recipe when I finish work. My fish love it!

Nice fish!

Yellow fuzzies are amazing! Just like others, little beggars.

 

[merlberg]

Ok cool :)

Very cool fish!

Thanks everyone! :)

Thanks rayn!
You have a yellow fuzzy don't you? I've been on a waiting list at several different LFSs up to a 5 hour drive away for over three years trying to get my hands on one. This elusive fish is near impossible to get in Australia! I will own one one day though!

 

[rayn]

Yes I do! He or she is kinda paired up with a red fuzzy too. Well, they swim together any ways.

Ahhhhh so jealous! Was it difficult to get feeding? Or just like a regular fuzzy? I've heard mixed reviews on these guys.
I'm derailing my own thread now lol.

 

[tyler1503]

I just fed the tank. He's still eating like a champ! A bit slow, but I was expecting that with a fish like this :)
I didn't realise how bad my micro bubbles in the DT were till now! Yuk.

 

[WindeyD]

Congrats, looks good! What size tank do you have? I've seen some that are quite big.

 

[tyler1503]

Thanks!
He's calling my 120 home for now :)
They can apparently grow up to around 20 inches long unfortunately. I've never seen any that size before, not even in photos so I don't know how true that is.
The public aquarium near me takes in donations so he'll be in good hands when the time comes :)

 

[WindeyD]

I have seen several that size so they certainly can get that big, not sure how fast they grow; really interesting fish though!

Pretty much like the others. Live to get feeding, then wean over to frozen. Once I get him moved to the 180 I will get pics up.

From what I've read they're slow growers :)
I'm hoping to get a few years of enjoyment out of him before having to move him on to the public aquarium. Or maybe I can just use him as an excuse to get a bigger tank lol.

I was kinda hoping you'd tell me they were really difficult to feed. Now that I know they're much the same as a regular fuzzy it makes me want one even more! Haha.
Would love to see some pics of it. And of your bluefin! I've always wanted one of those too.

 

[Mr.Rocc]

I WANT ONE!!! they look so awesome!
