Im putting my frank honest opinion out there. if you dont like it, fine. i wont apologize. nor do i mean to belittle anyone. and i dont claim to know everything. far from it, im a self confessed noob. i know that. however, if someone is going to offer up advice based on nearly nothing at all (not research at the least), im going to call it out. not because i can or because it makes me feel more important, but because other people looking for advice are reading this and i feel that the correct information should be given, especially on such basic aquarium related concepts.

fin: have you thought about what you would like to replace the fu man chu with as far as stocking goes? i bring it up because fuzzies arent the most common of all fish and finding a pre-weaned one can be... difficult. if you are forced to wean one yourself (and i agree that this is something to be avoided if at all possible) you will want the lion to be the only fish in the tank. tank mates will only complicate the process.

To make you happy and everyone else il delete my post.
