i never pick an easy fish!

well, i wanted to get a radiatta lionfish after i got the 55 an cycled it, but like always the one i want is hard to take care of. it says that they are poor shippers and VERY shy, so they are also hard to get to eat. hhhrrrmmm, why i cant i pick an easy fish for once?

so, well, i was wondering if any of you had any experience with one while working at an LFS or having one first hand? if not then i may got for the antennata lionfish, still cool but not as cool as the radiata. ​

 

Its because of the addiction to the tank filled with water

 

lol i know, ive always onted a radiata and now im gonna have the room for it and it might be too hard to take care of. plus i dont want it to die on me, id be out a lot of money and a beautiful fish would have died because of me.

 

You can always use live food such as shrimp, certain worms even feeder fish. Then slowly ween it off the live food. You mine as well give it a try, you only live once and it will give you a lot of valuable experience either way.

 

ill look into the worms, that would be the best option for me. soak them in selcon then feed them to the radiata. i can do ghost shrimp every now and then but not every time i feed. thanks man K+

 

does anyone use worms? its listed in my book as a good nutrition source for carnivores. if i dip them in selcon will that work? im hoping inwall will see this soon, im pretty sure hes the one with LFS experience. wonder if hes had any experience with radiatas at his lfs.

 

anyone else?

 

lol, i'm hooked;D

 

i think im gonna do caulerpa with this tank to help keep the tank params in line. parents say that an RO water maker is a "waste" of money and dont want me to get it.
