Lion fish and eels

[reefwars]

plus eels are horrible mess makers during feeding time as they strike their food then retreat with it down to their lair.

If you can find a dwarf golden moray they are great for that size tank and aren't as messy as snowflakes. the only problem I've encountered with dwarf lions is getting them to eat frozen food. Once they are eating they are amazing fish.

That video is awesome, thanks for sharing! I think that's what I'm going to do, ponies and lion fish. Will start researching. Out of habit I keep looking in the 55 but it's empty and sad looking.

I saw ghost eels this past weekend, very cool looking! Yours looks cute....

I can see why, do you not have it running anymore?

no I went on holidays and lost the ponies and the dwarf lion moved the eel to my 90 gal. and now my son has that tank in his room.

Sphelps is right not easy but in my opinion worth it. avoid the snowflakes, there are better eels just not as easy to get or as cheap.

Is that a dwarf lion in the video?

[subman]

It was truly my favorite Tank I think it was sphelps that had a tank with them too

While I did have them I'd like to say for the record keeping things like lions and eels with horses isn't for everyone. Personally unless you've kept both previously with success I wouldn't try mixing them as a first attempt. Especially a snowflake eel and full size lion. Dwarf lions are pretty passive and typically OK, the only eel I'd recommend is the white ribbon eel but I don't have any experience with that golden moray.

But never the less....
