Oh He looked lovely but I'm to late unfortunately

Trevor will be fine with the other fish, the foxface and anthias are to big for him and I'm sure the wrasse will be fine too
I would like another lion, If I can find a nice coloured Zebra I might go with one of them.
I haven't been able to find him this morning, he is hiding well but at least he's not floating on the top I watched him for ages last night, he was swimming about quite happily, a river shrimp swam right past him and he wasn't interested though.

The new lights have really made a differance to the tank, the coraline is really bright now and the tank has a lovely glow to it

I've tried to get pictures but it doesn't really show

Ok little sister, I have looked in your book and it is as you suspected - Volitans don't have spots BUT the Antennata does, otherwise known as the spotfin Lionfish woo hoo, how is Trevor today?

So he IS an Anntennata, could not see properley from the pics (may be my eyes).

Woohoo Trod that should please you, they are supposed to be more expensive aren't they??

A nice little volitans like I saw today at Cockfields would look lovely in there.

 

[Trod]

Yes certainly am pleased with that, although still no sightings today

Ahhh but it is normal for fish to hide for a couple of days, he will come out when he is hungry

Lovely fish Trod and glad to see you back to your lions again...I would say you have a juvenile volitans there though as antennata have thread like filamental pectorals similar to your radiata...those pecs on Trevor are screaming juvenile volitan, red or brown phase rather than the black member of this species.

Looking at the link you sent it sure looks like the red/brown volitan - but Trevor does have spots, maybe it is a teenage thing
