well, everyone says you shouldn't have any fish that cann fit in his mouth, cuz he will eat them. I keep mine fed really well, he eats 2 or 3 live minnows/goldfish every day. As soon as i put the net in the tank, he swims up and will take the fish from inside the net, he definately knows when its feeding time.
They can open their mouths as wide or wider than the size of their body, they love shrimps, and small fish. If you get a 90g, a voliton lion will out grow it in 7 months, apperantly they grow up 1inch/month.
He is pretty peaceful and calm, but once he gets bigger i'm sure he might hunt some tank mates. You can train them to eat dead food, but I just can't get him to do it yet.
