    I had no trouble switching my lion to frozen foods. try silversides they are easy, Also $100+ for a lionfish is crazy. For a volitan should be 35-50 bucks. for that size.

    That's about the right price around here for a larger one.

    No, the color wouldn't have changed the price in this case.

    Has the current owner tried to wean?... they ALL won't convert.

    how long can/should i keep him in the 60 gallon qtin tank?

    im thinking of getting a 120 if i can find one cheap if not then my 90 will be his home.

    can i keep any swimming fish with the lion in a 90 or 120 gallon? (eel,puffer,butterfly,foxface,wrasse)

    im planning on having around 2 scorpians in the tank. i really want a goblin if i can find one.
