Good luck with your lion, they are a beautiful addition and great entertainment at feeding time  |
wow, so 8" lions would eat all the fish? my guy is about 2" right now, i am getting a big tank in a matter of months, so i think he should be ok. any tips on feeding? i want to try and trarin him to take food from tongs, its pretty tough with all the shrimp trying to grab the food.
Perhaps i will slide in a divider at feeding time.
