![]() Hi Guys,
I have a Saddled Toby Puffer what other fish can I get to go with it? I was going to get a Dwarf/Zebra Lionfish but I hear that they will only eat live food. What would be another fish that will go good with my Saddled Toby Puffer? I will be switching to a 50G soon. Thanks, Eric |

![]() The dwarf lionfish do not only eat live food. I used to feed mine silversides on a feeding stick. I would try and mimic the actions of a sick or injured fish and he would come pretty quick. It may take some time but once they get hungry enough, they will jump at it. Also you could try some uncooked pieces of shrimp or squid.
I see you found your puffer? Steve |

![]() I picked up a 1" baby panther grouper (I will sell it when it gets to big) and a Fiji Blue Devil Damselfish this weekend. I am going to hold off on the lion.
I want to add Marine Beta Arc-Eye Halkfish Arrow Crab If those fish do not mix not I might consider, Or if you have any ideas please let me know. Yellow Tang Leopard Wrasse Flame Cardinal Long Nosed Halkfish Thanks for you input, Eric Last edited by Deathstar; 03-26-2006 at 05:35 PM. |

![]() Well like it or not your tank is full, that grouper was a really bad idea. They don't have to get big to cause problems, they can be territorial and aggressive at smaller sizes. Your other fish may take a pretty good beating from this guy. They also grow very fast, that fish will be 4 or 5 inches long in under 6 months if cared for properly.

I realize that you may be new to this hobby and might not understand the mistake you just made. Please take this as a constructive suggestion rather than a flame. Maybe you got some bad advice from somewhere, I'd suggest that you do more research in the future before you buy livestock. |
