    I had my dwarf in with two skunk clowns and a spotted hawkfish. I actually had to remove the clowns because the hawkfish was bothering them. The dwarf was getting very comfortable in the tank and was starting to check the clowns out, so they were pulled and put in their own tank.

    Lions are a bit finicky about eating, ours didn't eat for about 3 days. We started to move the krill and silversides around the top of the tank as if they were swimming and he went right for them, He now eats whenever we feed him. We only feed everyother day because lions, especially dwarfs are prone to gut bloat. They will eat as much as you offer and ultimately it will kill them. I feed them a couple pieces of silverside or a couple of krill everyother day. It is tempting to want to feed him, because he now follows us where ever we go in the room. As long as we are in the room, he is right there. 8)
