Say Hello to My Little Friend

[Feet4Fish]

Just arrived this morning and doing great. He ate his dinner like a champ and is now perched on a piece of pvc. I want to give a huge thanks to Lionfish Lair for all her advice in acclimation! She was spot on and he did great!!!

What a cutie!!! Can't wait to see him in your tank

 

[FeliciaLynn]

Gorgeous fish! What are you feeding him right now? Live ghost shrimp?

 

[Feet4Fish]

Yes, but he also took a piece of Rod's predator blend!

Yes, but he also took a piece of Rod's predator blend!

That's great! Sounds like he'll be easy to wean!

Nice lion! I found if I feed my lion fresh/ stinky fish he goes absolutely crazy. Lucky for me I have an international market with all kinds of fish. Good luck with your lion!

Beautiful looking lion. atennata? I miss my little guy but i also love my triggerfish and reef more then wanting another

Beautiful lion! Congrats on it eating

I was wondering when you were going to post about this guy! I guess I missed it with the title name.

Are they still doing well? They're not breathing hard, are they?

@ice fish, it's a Mombasae. Although I wouldn't recommend most triggers, lions can be in reefs.... just an FYI.

 

[Feet4Fish]

Doing well. Should have the main display ready I. The next couple weeks!

 

[Lionfish Lair]

Most excellent!

Sure they can but you lose all the nice smaller fish you can put in a reef. And agreed most triggers dont do well. But i have a blue throat thats been good to me.

 

[Lionfish Lair]

You also lose all the nice smaller fish if you don't have a reef. Small fish don't define a reef environment. You can have a reef without any fish at all. I'm not trying to be argumentative, but people then think they don't do well with corals.

 

[ice fish]

Yeah, I've seen plenty of amazing reefs even with volitans inside them. I love lions but i have the worst luck with them and like my trigger and wrasses too much

 

[DevonMeep]

Beauty =). Nothing like a cool new inhabitant.

Awesome looking fish. Been wanting to start a small predator tank myself. But I have to figure out placement first.
