    *cough* bump for the night owls ::)


    where's incognito? lol

    I have done just about all the "research" you can, but I would really like to hear from someone who has kept a few different kinds of lions to see which is the best option for me. Seems like everything I find online will have a different max adult size for each of these fish but it seems like the antennata has very long fins similar to a volitan and may brush against the glass when it tries to turn around in a 55g so I think I am taking that one off my list. I'm also thinking the mombosa would have similar sized fins as the antennata so i'm down to either a fuzzy dwarf or a zebra dwarf and there really isn't much difference between those two correct? I really like the size and coloration of the fu manchu but I'm somewhat afraid of not being able to convert to frozen foods. And I would prefer to have a lion that swims around a bit more than a fu manchu that just hops around on the bottom.
