my newest member to the tank! pics soon!

Good job on separating the lionfish and deciding to take him back. I am sure your other fish are very grateful.

A single dwarf lionfish takes up a very large bioload. They need meaty foods and are messy eaters. There is also a very high chance it will see your other fish as food. Usually lions will try to eat anything they can fit in their mouth. I wouldn't add one with your current bioload and livestock.

If you want a different nano fish to add then I would research blennies and gobies. There are many colorful species with great personalities.
 
if i set another tank up for dwarf lion fish, it is going to be a 35 gallon and how many dwarf lion fish can i pt in there? also what would be good tank mates for dwarf lion fish if there is any!,
thanks,
Shane
 
I think good mates for them would be the freshwater gold fish that cost 10 / $1. They would get along very nicely; and you get to buy new fish every few days.
 
Ummmmmm this sounds all too familiar. Wasn;t there a post by someone about a week ago who did the same thing.....no proper acclimation, no quarantine, and thought it was neat how the fish "played" while chasing one another??? Is it me or was there not a post just like this? I sometimes wonder if people post stuff like this just to get a rise out of the more serious hobbyist.
because anyone who even takes the time to find these forums and educational sites MUST read and understand the facts about basic marine care, acclimation procedures, and needs of the fish they buy. Wouldn't ya think??:wall:

If it was a joke, don't you think the OP would keep trying to get a rise out of people in all of his posts? The OP's second post was saying that he made a mistake and he is correcting it. I don't think this thread is fake at all. Everyone makes mistakes and instead of being mean about it I think we should try and help them out. I thought that posting in threads was to HELP people...not to make fun of them or put them down. Kinda like how someone posted about being humiliated in a LFS, and how he never went back. Thats how you lose members of AC.


Also with acclimation, yes it is good for the fish to get used to the water temperature, but fish don't fully acclimate to the water params for weeks to months. So acclimating for hours, I don't see the point.

Ok, I guess I do owe everyone an apology. I'm not used to these forums really and I "thought" I saw/read a new post about this subject matter this morning when I went to check out new postings. This is the second time I've done this......and it was a simple mistake. I see that my last post was edited...so I am going to assume that some folks think I was being a bit too rude. I merely thought that another person had posted almost the same "message" as I saw a few days ago. My mistake.....I think I need to refrain from posting and just read from now on as I seem to get confused and then put out the wrong impression (hard to do on a computer at times).

So sorry......... :huh:
