dwarf lionfish tank?

A male Hawaiian and a fuzzy may fight... they look ALOT alike. I myself will be putting all the other lions together. There's a chance someone may get grumpy with someone else, but I think the odds of that are in my favour. I'm going to try it. What are your options if someone fights? An LFS?

 

if someone fights then, yes, and lfs would be my only choice. i would like a species only tank, of dwarf species anyway with this tank. i was just wanting fuzzy dwarfs but it sounds like its gonna be a LOT of work to find a female, which i can handle, but it will be very boring XD

 

But the hunt can be worth it.

Have you ever trained a fish to eat from a stick before?

 

i was successful with a zebra dwarf and an angler. the angler tried to swallow to much one time and impaled himself and the lion was attacked by something (chunk out of its side) they were both in the 30 gallon. so yes i was successful twice. do you have any pointers?

 

One of my favourite fish is the Fu Man Chu. If you feel up to the challenge, one would go nicely with your fuzzies. But there's always a chance one of these guys won't convert.

I love mine so much he's earned the position of being in the tank on my nightstand.

 

ill eventually try the fu man chu. once i get the fuzzies under my belt i may try it.

 

I think they are my second favourite fish out of my guys.... maybe my third. But that's high up there.

Okay... maybe the fourth....lol.

 

yea what im planning now is to let the tank sit until i get T5s for it, then get the macro i picked out from reef cleaners, then ad the dwarf lionfish one by one. i want it to be a natural habitat kind of thing with lots of macro. that way they can feel a tad bit safer with places to hide. i found T5s for 100 bucks, just gotta get the money now i guess.

 

I love reef cleaners and I love macro. I don't think I have a tank without any.
Get the females a little larger so you can be sure they are female. I buy my fish young and sometimes a male can be mistaken for a female when they are young. This time I'm going to buy a sub adult.

So now I have two males... oh well.

 

i may just do a fuzzy dwarf, a zebra dwarf, adn eventually a fu man chu. that way hopefully fighting will be to a minimum and i will have diversity. but i am not counting out the all fuzzy tank yet. i LOVE how grape caulerpa looks as well as feather. they are a must for this tank. if you like those then
