I have a 75 gallon FOWLR with predatory fish. I know this is too small - will be upgraded as the fish grow. I have a small volitan that is doing great, but any other type of lion I try dies after about 3 days. Looks and acts fine, eats and everything, then just dies. No signs of disease, no rapid breathing, no red gills, no signs of what is wrong...
Everything I read says they are hardy fish but I am having some kind of trouble trying to keep them. All other fish in the tank are fine including a porcupine puffer I have had for months now. In the past - those have been hard for me to keep healthy so I am at a loss with the lions. LFS has no suggestions and says he cannot keep lions either. Ph 8.1, no ammonia or nitrites. Nitrite around 20.
