I only use a protein skimmer and live rock and water quality has stayed very good. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

You don't think a foxface will be a little large for a 55 gallon? Mine is almost 6 inches and I have seen bigger ones. I have him in a 6' long tank and he is always swimming the length. Just make sure they can stretch their fins out and run a bit. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Aquarium...

Found another. Gonna use the same blowtorch method. That seemed to work. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Ok so the lionfish seems back to normal. I think he had to get used to the aggressive Squirelfish. He is now more aggressive at feeding by positioning himself at the top of the tank and charging the Squirelfish if they get to pushy. All is well again. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Aquarium...

Well after I think 9 days (started losing count) he came up and ate of course I was unprepared and only had freeze dried krill. But I was happy to see him eat Sent from my SCH-I545 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I tried live fish. No luck. Guess I will just keep catering to this pre madonna until he gets hungry enough or dies. It's day 3 not eating again. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

He was eating freeze dried shrimp and frozen fish from chopsticks w no problems before. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Ok I added two Squirelfish to my tank with the lionfish. Up to that point he was eating from chopsticks every time I came near tank and fed the fish. The other fish all eat algae (foxface and tang) the Squirelfish don't bother the lionfish but are aggressive eaters. My lionfish has stopped...

Removing aipistasia Ok, I am pretty sure I removed the aipistasia for good, bonus is I got to rearrange my rock for a better cave!

That sucks. It's on the bottom support rock...... Sent from my SCH-I545 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

So this creature has been growing on my rock. Would like help identifying it and opinions on if it is a good or bad thing. Thanks. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Def. Fed them freeze dried shrimp and they ate it up. I read this caution and it happened. One of them got trapped in my net transferring them in. That was a touchy situation. Hope to never have to do that with them again. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Added two Squirelfish. They are all playing nice in the sandbox. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Just added two Squirelfish. Getting along great in the fowl tank swimming around with tang and rabbitface! Sent from my SCH-I545 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Always impressive

Nice! Seems like a good fit. I like the Pakistan butterfly mostly because it is not yellow. I don't need more yellow in the tank. Only downside I see is they require several feedings a day. Anyone own one and can verify feeding habits?

I think I was lucky with my lionfish and feeding. Him and the other fish literally follow me around the tank when I come look at them with big pouty eyes hahha

My lionfish ate after 3 days in my tank. I buy fish from store and cut it into pieces and freeze them. I feed him the frozen chunks off chop sticks. As soon as I come near the tank he come right to me waiting. I never fed him live food. I also feed him freeze dried shrimp. Keep trying.

Singapore looks good. Wondering in general how small a fish can survive a 12-15" full grown lionfish

Nice! Gonna research them. Thx

Yeah the big problem with eels is they escape. I have a top on the tank but it is not designed to stop Houdini. Haha

I wouldn't mind an eel but don't want one that gets to big. Which type do you have in mind?

I have a 125 gallon fowlr filtration is a protein skimmer in sump. Have a lionfish (centerpiece) yellow tang, foxface. Want to add to tank and want a fish that won't eat my snails and hermit crabs or get eaten by my ever hungry lionfish (I feed him off chopsticks) advice welcome.

Yeah. I bought them to start the tank only. The lionfish is the centerpiece. Hope the make it!
