Sorry to those who sms and PM me and i dont have the time to reply.. fish sold in less than 5 min after posting..

Great sharing tips ..

clearing away at $ 20.00 now, just want to let it find a new home without stressing it in my Beta box. FCFS basis...

I have to start moving all my chairs and sofa to made room for all the camera tripods stand already.. I think Comycus is also able to share with us more on that day as well, since he is also a expert.. lol

you wanna sell but didnt state the price ?

you can park at the open carpark in the nearby market and walk there..About 10 min walk. Prehapes you can also ask Sealife to show you if their lion fish is already feeding on frozen , i got my second lionfish from them. They are all very friendly people there willing to show you .

I have my first lion fish 4 years ago and suffer the same problem with you, cloudy eye, loss of color and die . IMO i think the diet is the key part in the success of keeping the lion fish, fresh water shrimp does not give the nutrient that the fish need , and they dont eat this in the wild. I kept my second lion fish in my office for about 2 year feeding it daily with frozen mysis cube each day (soaking it with kent marine Zoe once in awhile), until i sold it away few month ago. I never change my water for about one year, and it is just a simple 2ft setup running with live rocks and redsea skimmer without any sump / overflow. For maintaining the water, I just dose trace elements, iodine and ca one a week. It is advisable to buy one which is already train to eat frozen food , get the LFS to show it to you if you can or buying it from reefer which has already train it. It is pretty hard to train a lion fish to eat frozen but if you do a search in SRC here, you should be able to find some good information share by some reefer previously how to train it.

Ten years ago, ocean acidification was a phenomenon only known to small group of ocean scientists. It's now recognized as the hidden partner of climate change, prompting calls for an urgent, substantial reduction in carbon emissions to reduce future impacts. Scientists from the European Science Foundation at European Maritime Day 2010 give a comprehensive view of current research and highlight the need for a integrated effort internationally to research and monitor ocean acidification effects.
