    decided to trade all my smaller puffers in. they were acting aggressively towards one another and other fish. so now it is my dogface and the new baby snowflake, and baby lion.

    just got them two yesterday.

    going to see if they will eat in a few minutes.


    fully stocked when full grown with those three?

    i would be cool to add a radiata lion or a black volitan maybe???


    (125g btw)

    eel ate! chopped up shrimp is what i used. lion expressed no interest. i know they are more of a pscivore (sp) but i forgot to ask what he was being fed.

    should i start off with feeders for him then on to silversides/shrimp etc?

    i fed my snowflake and lion silversides. my snowflake was blind, so they my may get somewhat aggressive at feeding time (poor vision) but you can drop silvers by a powerhead and the lion thinks they're swimming. or feed by hand :p

    I had a lion a ungulates trigger [wrong spelling] and a snow flake eel. They were so cool. would put a medium to large gold fish in trigger would tear out throat. The eel was feed scallops washed then frozen thawed one at a time hand feed with long tongs would drag eel around tank great work for the eel. So for the ramble now I rember why I am getting back into salt water. Nice choice.
