lionfish

Hi there I recently got an old red sea max s 400 for free and am turning it into a new home for my dwarf lionfish and eel. its currently cycling and im wondering if theres anyway to turn down the main pump so that its not as aggressive for the lionfish since they are bad swimmer, if anyone...

I currently have a small lion fish, in a 35 gal tank for the meantime, till I have my other bigger tank ready and started. With that being said. I did my research on lion fish before. But with mine he doesn’t eat clams or silverfish… he wants to hunt and chase after his food. So rn I am giving...

Hi everyone. I’m still quite new to this forum so apologies if this is a very common question. This is my first time owning a Fuzzy Dwarf Lionfish and so far it’s been a smooth journey. Got him to eat since the first day I got him with live ghost shrimp, and slowly trying to wean him onto...

Hey ya’ll! I have a large volitan lionfish that’s been acting lathargic and not eating. Then I noticed a heniocus butterfly going to town on his fins. Then noticed some ich spots on the lion. I did a cupramine dose to help with the ich but I think he may be having some gastro issues. I’m seeing...

I got a dwarf fuzzy lionfish a couple of days back and for the entirety of the day he's been hanging out in the corner up against the heater just kind of chilling upside down. I know the swimming upside down thing isn't completely abnormal but he hasn't been going around the tank at all like he...

Just picked up a Mombasa from a local fish store yesterday for my 75 gallon. They said they only had it in the store for about 3 days. I acclimated it pretty slowly and it was hanging out on the rock work most of the night. Then today it briefly started to swim, but it looked weak. Then it lost...

Many of us have heard of a Palytoxin (If you haven’t, read this). Lionfish and urchin toxicity is also pretty widely known about. Corals and anemones have stung people badly enough to cause numbness, pain and scarring. Water and electricity…drip loops people! What are some other risks which...

Hi there. I ordered a dwarf zebra lion for to live with some smaller morays. It arrived yesterday but isn’t a zebra. I’m having a hard time differentiating whether the fish I received is an antennata or a mombasae. It seems well settled in to the quarantine tank and is eating quite readily. I’m...

So I got a volitan lionfish 3 weeks ago. It's diet includes live mollies and some dead food. It's a active fish but I have seen it itching using its fins. My guesses are that bristleworms are disturbing them but still wanna confim. Blue velvet demsel is it's tankmate(full sized)

I have read so much mixed info online, some people say it worked for them with their volitan, others say theirs ate the wrasse. So as I understand it, it’s 50/50. Our lionfish lives in our ‘live’ rock tank, so obviously if disease happens in that tank from cross contamination or something, we...

Selling fuzzy dwarf lion fish he is in great shape. Very nice addition to tank. I just don’t like having to buy different food for him to eat only. That’s why I’m selling. Txt or call 5164745507

2.5” Dwarf Fuzzy Lionfish. Eating pellets!!! Just decided to go a different direction with my tank. Been by itself in a non- medicated QT tank for 2 months. Local pickup only. Price Firm.

Probably a dumb question, but could a 12”+ lionfish possibly let a very small cleaner fish live? Or would it just snack? More hypothetical than anything

Hello, I work at a pet store and the lionfish that the aquatic section had died in a very strange way. I would like to know the reason for the death so I can help make sure it never happens again It developed a weird lump then died

Hey there, I am currently looking for some more fish for my 120g predator reef. Currently there's only one dwarf zebra lion in there (around 7inches long with fins). I'd like to keep it a reef tank and also I am not sure about actually getting more predators especially those that would need a...

Hi, I have a 255L (about 67 gallon) mixed reef, about 5 months now. Stock list: a blue tang, a flame hawkfish, a pearl blenny, a coral beauty. Planning to have a pair of clownfish later. Maybe a mandarin too. Coral: mostly LPS, some soft coral and 3 montiporas. All generic coral, nothing fancy...

Hey I recently noticed that my dwarf fuzzy lionfish has a strange white lump on his cheek .. he is still eating and seems fine but I am still concerned that it might be a parasite of some sort ..

Can I get a small angler or fu man chu in a 16?

This was a tank that I had planned for a long time now but the setup was delayed by a long time :(finally got to actually setting it up recently! :) The tank arrived at my house pre-winter 2020 lol Couldn't figure out how to lift it at first and was busy so I kinda just forgot about it :( but...

I have a 36 gallon reef. I’ve been really busy and I’m not home for most of the summer so my family has been taking care of my tank. I’ve already had 2 coral die since they’ve been taking care of it. I’ve been considering converting my tank into a predator tank. In terms of fish atm I have 2...

Been looking to purchase a radiata lionfish for sometime now but seems everywhere is sold out and have been for some time now. Anyone have any leads on where one may acquire one that’s 3”-5” . Also in the market for a magnificent foxface prefer a small-medium size one but will consider larger .

Hey, y'all! Just about done setting up our 75G predator tank. But I have a question regarding the flow! The tank will consist of the following livestock: 2 Blackfoot Lionfish 1 Juvenile Snowflake Moray 1 Bluespot Puffer 1 Blue Throat Trigger Here's what I've got for flow as of now. Trying to...

clearfin lionfish, radiata lionfish Pterois Radiata

Hey, R2R. Back again trying to learn what I can. Ok, I’m convinced I’m getting 125g tank and I want a lionfish to be the “star” of the tank (at least for me) so I’m building around it. This is going to be a living room tank so it needs to have kind of a “wow” factor to it. My partner thinks the...

Hello I would like to get two lionfish for a 75 gallon what are some good species? I’d like something small so that it doesn’t eat a Bluehead wrasse.
