My humble lions tank

[delirium]

Awww... why selling this beauty away? Dont you love him/her anymore?

[angry]

Hi dude:)

this little fella has absolutely no chance when it comes to feeding. The other two volitans are too fast for it. No choice but to put it into my sump tank so that i can feed him. And i think thats not being fair to this little guy. But he is indeed gorgeous:)

[angry]

I might be adding a yellow tang with the two volitans to "fill" my tank up a little. Will keep you guys posted.

Are there any tricks to recognising what species are we looking at? i've been to liveaquaria and some lion website but when i saw those Lions at fish farms.... they're like look a bit like this and that, hence always dunno what? Asking the staff there? Eheheh i dun think so... they always either dunno or anyhow haigon customer one..

[angry]

Bro,

sure there are distinctive features amongst these different species. Try some of the links provided somewhere along this thread. I'm sure you will be able to recognise them in no time and their captivity requirements.

[delirium]

Well hope you find a good home for him soon.

[Volitan]

Haha, nice links.

BTW, saw a scorpion fish at PR yesterday, very chio, and BIG (at least 4 in excluding tail)! Costly too. Phew!! But you may be interested to check it out.

[that was niceeeee]

nice?volitan... angry nice?

[that was niceeeee]

sorry to big... smaller one... the fish beside it.. DINNEr

[that was niceeeee]

again... sorry again big

[Volitan]

Wow, looks pretty big, say 6"? Dun think it will immediately start feeding. Give the fella some time ok. Volitans are quite easy to wean into frozen. You can try that after acclimatisation.

[angry]

Heyheyhey, that looks like a very nice volitan:) where d ya get it from bro niceeeeeeee?

[that was niceeeee]

from pasir ris for 15... u saw the small fish beside it?byebye already... first day got eaten when my big lion got into the tank... haha

[angry]

Nice one!

[that was niceeeee]

haha... now my lion got white spot so feed guppy that is dip into garlic water... is it ok/

[angry]

Feeding them with guppy is not the best option. Try to wean them to frozen food like i told you. You can try out lance fish from reb@#n. I fed mine with lance fish, sotong, market prawns and shell meat. Once in awhile i do put in some mollies just to keep their predatory instinct alive. Volitans are easier to wean than the rest of the lion species.

[that was niceeeee]

they will eat meh?lance fish how much?

[blurkok]

they will eat. just got my lion from SL and it ate a dried shrinp that was floating around in my tank. it also eats lance fish that i got from cold storage and also my damsel. i think they like the taste of damsels

[that was niceeeee]

Hey Bro

Is the lance fish in RB those frozen type? I wonder if the angler will take it...

BTW, have you seen any small volitans (like > 3") around lately? My dwarf committed suicide on Sunday...

What kind of lion is it you got from SL? And how big may I know?

[blurkok]

[Volitan]

Wow, great! When did you get it? If still have I may go over and check it out tomorrow...
