nice..what do you feed it?

[slcw]

just bought. bought FW shrimps feeding them cycloeeze.

feed to tank mysis shrimps, saw its mouth moved but not sure it ate.

according to my research, for 1st week they may not eat, as they are under stress.

from spore.

[ervine]

wow nice colours! got a side view?

[Synanceia]

I've kept a similar specimen before, about 5 to 6 years ago. You are right that when it is stressed, it may not feed. But more importantly, you should not tempt it to feed by introducing live shrimps or live fish, cos its instinct is to eat anything that moves and is small enough to fit into its mouth. Go slow in the first week.

These are very rarely found. This is the second one I have seen locally. Treasure it.

do u know what is species is it?

[PBT]

is this the deep water lionfish?

[Synanceia]

I have forgotten its species name, or how to search for it on the internet (getting lazy nowadays). You can post the picture on the identification forum. I'm sure someone can identify it for you.

Do update us on its progress.
