Got 2 More Chromis

[J-Money]

but back to the topic at hand, Has he eaten the chromis yet?

lol, no. he's too lazy. How often do you feed your lion? Since mine's a baby i try to feed him once a day, but I know eventually it'll end up being once every 2 days or so. WHen that time comes around i'm sure he'll start up the hunt

 

[Mr Miagi]

Well, lions dont always "chase" there meals. Although they are ambush predators, sometimes they are happy to wait for an opportunity to produce itself. And then they will envelope there meal in a swift second or two. And being present on the outside of his domain, peering inside may make him a little uncomfortable. I wouldnt be surprised if you just came home one day and found them or one missing!

Is he a captive breed fish or a wild caught specimen? That can make a difference!

Mollies and other small tropicals like guppys and swords breed rapidly, are cheap, and survive short time periods in salt water. Maybe if you want to feed your lion a live meal, try these cheaper alternatives! They are smaller and he may see these as an easier target for now.

As for aggression, they are already aggresive arnt they, i mean, they are predators. And what fish would you put in with a lion that u wouldnt want eaten or harrassed. I shore wouldnt put in a couple of clowns! lol

Nah Lions arent aggresive to be honest. They are really quite vulenrable to other fish that would normally be considered as tankmates. Triggers love to attack them, Morays are expert at killing them without harming themselves on the spines etc, puffers also tend ot harass lions to the point of death! Lions are baically large mouths with fins! They will happily eat something smaller than them but are really quite docile and easily intimidated by fish that swim faster and are equal size or larger.

[J-Money]

thanks kim, i'll have to check that out next time i go, sadly i don't expect it to happen for a week or so...I hate not havin' money )

 

[gmang]

what about disease do you quarentine them it would be a shame if your food killed all your fish

 

[KimPossible]

lol. J-money.....me either!

I'm itchin' for a salt refractor

 

[J-Money]

I really should quarentine them, luckily i haven't had anything happen yet. But i have no room for a hospital tank right now

Gettin' back to the subject, when i turned on the lights all the fish came out for the morning feedings, except that last chromis....The lion wuz sittin' up where i've seen the chromis sleep, lookin' all smug. I thought he got him. But nope, 5 minutes later that little guy came swimmin' outta nowhere (maybe in the LR). This guy is a fighter lol
