My favorite fish as well, that why I am never buying another one. I have a big reef that is very old with many pods. In 20 years I have still killed three of the green mandarins, the longest one survived was 6 months. I feel like I am killing puppies. Enough is enough with that fish.

I agree, hence my profile picture (although mine is red). The excellent thing about them is that they are a pest in the Caribbean as a result of our hobby. The least we can do is reduce the population by putting them back into fish tanks. Nobody should ever feel bad about a captive lion fish, it's like collecting ants, there are plenty of them to go around.

My Pink spotted goby is my favorite. He`s 8 yrs old and was the baby of the tank. Hurricane Irene caused my older fish to die.

Are they a pest cause they damage anything or having a negative effect on the reefs ?

There is nothing in the food chain that is stupid enough to try and eat them. And they will eat almost anything. Look how they are built, like a pirate ship flying the skull and crossbones.

Wasn't it an aquarium that lost a few? And yeah they are horrible to the entire ecosystem. I think it's illegal to throw them back into the water if you catch one. There's also a beach where you can literally scoop up small lion fish. The guy at my petco told me about it lol

Yes, it was a hurricane a few years back. Aquariums are the only way they could have gotten there.
