The p. shrimp is too big for him and he doesn't seem to want to swallow a whole crab or snail shell. Maybe if he were much bigger. The smallest fish I have are some green chromis (about an inch long) and he hasn't shown any interest in them. I did have a little green banded goby that I'm afraid he did eat. I didn't catch him in the act, but I haven't seen the goby for several weeks, which is highly unusual. Really, with any lionfish I've always understood that they'll eat any moving animal they can fit in their mouth. As long as their tank mates are bigger than that they should be left alone since lions are quite peaceful.

Wow, that sounds like a small tank for all those fish. ]]> Wed, 19 Oct 2011 19:29:41 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51834&PID=436379&title=new-dwarf-lion#436379 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51834&PID=436373&title=new-dwarf-lion#436373 Author: ch3tt

I've got my dwarf in my office 24G Aquapod. Its tank mates are: 2 clowns, yellow coris wrasse, 6 line wrasse, coral banded shrimp, peppermint shrimp, loads of snails and hermit crabs, horseshoe crab. He has never been aggressive towards anything in my tank. However i do keep him well fed, i think that is key with keeping them friendly with the other tank mates. ]]> Wed, 19 Oct 2011 18:50:15 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51834&PID=436373&title=new-dwarf-lion#436373 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51834&PID=436355&title=new-dwarf-lion#436355 Author: russianrick

Along the lines of what P.Kapp asked, I was wondering what tank mates your dwarf lion is living with.]]> Wed, 19 Oct 2011 15:49:41 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51834&PID=436355&title=new-dwarf-lion#436355 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51834&PID=436351&title=new-dwarf-lion#436351 Author: P.Kapp

Awesome fish! Do your dwarfs ever pick on cleaner shrimp or snails and crabs? I would love to have one, but dont know if I want to get rid of any of my clean up crew...]]> Wed, 19 Oct 2011 15:10:22 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51834&PID=436351&title=new-dwarf-lion#436351 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51834&PID=436301&title=new-dwarf-lion#436301 Author: russianrick

Petco, Petsmart - Animal Ark in Orem also carries them. I usually go to the Petsmart on University because they have them the cheapest (33 cents). Just call ahead as they only get them in one day a week and usually sell out in a day or two.]]> Wed, 12 Oct 2011 13:45:17 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51834&PID=435542&title=new-dwarf-lion#435542 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51834&PID=435539&title=new-dwarf-lion#435539 Author: russianrick

Usually no they are not trained to eat frozen before you buy unless you buy from someone who has had one in their home for a long time - although some lions take to frozen pretty fast and some are a ton more stubborn.

The setup I used for live food before I got mine on frozen was just a mason jar with an air bubbler in it and a bunch of ghost shrimp. Easy and cost me nothing as I had everything in the house already.]]> Wed, 12 Oct 2011 12:36:53 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51834&PID=435537&title=new-dwarf-lion#435537
