    Lionfish

    To me aggressive means they will pick on other fish just for the fact they can, they pick on fish for territory or because he does not want the competition. If I have a full grown lion toss a small clown in my tank. The lion eating it is not aggression. Its,just eatting dinner.

    Lionfish

    Ocne again not lionfishes fault. Lions are brought here by people. They are just trying to live. They did not swim here to mess with the echo system. So I see no aggression there.

    Lionfish

    I have had lionfish for years. I got a new v. Lionfish. He is very small. I got him to eat frozen no problem. The funny thing if he also has been eating flakes. I have never seen this. Anyone else? He is eating ever other day and growing fast as v lions do. So he should not be starving.

    Looking for ideas! :)

    Lions are my fav. Very hardy. A good starter fish. If that can't eat another fish in one bit they will not mess with it. So a small lion likea fu manchu (sorry of spelled wrong). Is a very compatible pred.

    Moving

    I use marine coolers. Wider then buckets. Also very good insulation. Add a aerator if moving to far.

    Kio707 tank 2.0

    This may sound funny. But you can get what I call a time out bubble. Its a gerbil ball. A big plastic clear ball. With lots of holes. But that in the with the fish in it. It works they settle down when they get out. Don't know why but they do.

    60 gallon

    I have lion puffer and trigger. Zero problems. Make sure you have lots of room lots of places to hide and keep a eye out for any signs of aggression. Also know that there is a possibility they won't get along one day and one may have to find a new home...... Just like peope. ;)

    Lionfish

    Maybe its just me. But I would not call them aggressive at all. I would not call just eating aggressive. They are just trying to eat. They can only eat what you let them by putting that fish in the tank. If a lionfish picked at something or was out top sting something I would call that...

    emergency question! Powering tank during power outage

    A car batt and dc to ac converter works great Quiet and will run a good size power head for a long time. Ez to recharge. In a big emergence you can run out right though your car if you have to

    emergency question! Powering tank during power outage

    Might be late now but its what I do. I live in fla. So after a hurricane or two I came up with this. A extra car batt or a deep cycle boat batt. Then you get a dc to ac converter. You can run power heads. Heaters and filter if needed. Now the more you run the faster it drains but you get the...

    Ich alternatives and myths

    One I have been told by some one that has done salt water for years. He claims this almost always works for him. He raises his salt 1 point a day for 5 days. Leaves it for 2 weeks and then back down 1 point a day. Also he raises temp to 80. He says its safe on fish. Have to be very careful on...

    Ich alternatives and myths

    I have read lots of posts and blogs on ich. I know the two sure fire treatments. They both are pretty extreme if you ask me. But to save a full tank of fish its worth it. Just for debate. Does anyone have anything to try any alternatives to try if you catch it early that MAY work before you...

    Very aggressive Lionfish??!!

    I like the new pic. Pretty fish. They make feeding sticks. Like 3 bucks at a fish store. Just clear plastic. Pretty blunt end they will pull it right off. Never had one get hurt on it.

    Very aggressive Lionfish??!!

    I have a idea. This is just a guess. I love lionfish they are by far my fav. I have watched them for hours. One thing I have come to realize. The are greedy over food. But they like there food moving. My best guess is it has got used to going after the silversides after a fish has picked it up...

    Very aggressive Lionfish??!!

    I have had lionfish for years. That is very odd. I have never seen that. Normally if a fish can't fit in his mouth he will leave it alone. The only thing I can think of is tank is to small or maybe not enough hiding spots. Lions grow very fast. He will out grow a 65 in months. If this does not...
