Misunderstanding, not suggesting that you eat your lionfish. I was just trying to make a point of how common they are.

I know that, I heard about them being on the menu, it's not like I'm a vegan. I was just being a smart,,,,

So far so good, both seem happy in their new tank. The lion is noticeably more active than he was before, not sure if this is because he’s happier now or still getting used to everything. I made a build thread that goes into more detail

Say Hi to Sebastian! my fuzzy dwarf lion under my blues. I love how they light up white in some areas under blues.

Does anyone have long term success with dwarf lions? I’ve been looking at a few different sites and success seems to be minimal

Read through some of my threads, my current old crew is an 8 old year old fu manchu, and an antennata and zebra for 7 years. I've kept fuzzies for as long as 11 years.

Lion King's observations of keeping lions long term

As my research into how long lions are being kept alive in captivity disturbed and disappointed me, I decided to post a few of my observations that has allowed me to keep them for several years or more. Source; know your source, it is not a good idea to get any lion from a source that runs...
