Fu Manchu

[sphelps]

Mine always did fine with other fish and was very docile (I've had two before) but I remember someone having an aggressive one although I don't believe that to be the norm.

I've been looking for a fumanchu since I set back up in Calgary, but haven't seen one yet.

In my 80g my fumanchu is sometimes aggressive towards my red fuzzy dwarf lionfish and when he was in a small 20g tank he was very aggressive towards any other fish. However now he seems fine with most other fish. Definitely find one that is eating frozen food and is eating well before you buy it.

Valentino puffers might be a risk. Some types of puffers like to chew on the long tempting fins of lionfish.

good luck finding one that eats, Ive been looking for over a year and saw lots of fumanchu but none that ate frozen...some werent even interested in live....

I spoke to Kelly @ Piscies about a Fu Manchu a week ago. He indicated that they can be pretty hit and miss, but that he's had pretty good luck getting in ones that eat frozen. He also indicated that he can request ones that eat frozen directly from the supplier. They were supposed to be getting a couple in this last Thursday.

That's awesome, too bad JL couldn't order any Fu that were frozen trained... They would sell em like egg tarts. Gonna ask JL if they can acquire frozen trained Fu in, thanks for the tip!
