Should i get a dwarf zebra lionfish?

There is currently a dwarf zebra lionfish at my lfs on hold for me until it eats. I have had a fuzzy dwarf but it soon turned pale and died:-[. i dont know why and havent really found much it could be except cyanide poisoning. Is it common for dwarf lionfish to turn pale and die or was it unpreventable? but back to the zebra, it is there until it eats for them. I have had a snowflake eel and had very good success;D (had to return it for size reasons i knew about from the beginning). am i getting big headed for my success with the eel, or would it be a good choice to go for the lionfish? thanks for the imput.

 

We love our Dwarf, just make sure he/she eats enough but not too much. Dwarf Lions will eat themselves to death. We feed ours twice a day, about 4 or 5 small shrimp each day. He is absolutely beautiful and has doubled in size over the past year.

 

thanks. does anyone know what the pale thing was all about though?
