if theres live food around. chances are frozen is not going to entice it whatsoever. take note mouth can expand pretty big.

long long ago this lfs sold me a volitans as a peacock. so maybe thats what it is. the lfs knowledge was questionable.

wad duhz... but the lionfish is kinda small lehz... will it reallie eat up my fishes? well... wun doubt tat it wun eat my fishes... cos i think one clown has become itz food alreadie  :( ... but is there ani food to feed it? will live brine shrimps or frozen food work?

it won't if your fishes are big enough..

I have:

- 1 lionfish (bout 6.5cm from tip to tail)

- 1 dottyback (bout 3cm)

- 1 fire shrimp (big one)

- 1 camel shrimp (small one)

- 1 scarlet/skunk shrimp

- 1 purple, furry, pokkadot shrimp..or is it a lobster (got mixed names from LFS..not sure what it is)

All in a 1 feet tank.

My lionfish never attacks any of them. Although its mouth is big, it never eats anything large.. doesn't even eat the camel shrimp.. but it eats a lot.. :P

people give wrong perceptions about lionfishes.. they are quite peaceful creatures. Do not like to be disturbed..at all. Everytime when my scarlet or fire shrimp tries to go near it (wanting to clean it :rolleyes: ), my lionfish will just swim away.. <_<

Why do we use "My 2 cents worth" when 1 cents are not legal tender in Singapore anymore? Shouldn't it be 5 cents worth?

WOH... but it should be very rare... usually seen at LFS are those palm sized ones.

Really, anyone ever had their lions grow that huge?
