Any FOC LS for my new Nano tank?

[nanotako]

Hi guys,

Just completed cycling the

water for my new nano tank.

Intend to put some cheap LS this weekend

as trial.

Anybody giving anything for free?

[reeftask]

Voilitan lionfish. very nice one.

[nanotako]

Do I need to make much preparation

for the fish and is it hard to keep?

Also, will it be compatible with other fishes

and corals?

Teach me! Thanks

[mopiko]

bro do some research as regards to what fish is good and reef safe to kick start your system. i started mine with small green chromis

reeftask. your lion can "cai lian"? CNY coming , need lion for good luck .LOL

[nanotako]

Yup...being reading all the threads here for

Newbies...but find it very contradicting

some of the discussion...

some started after 4 days and even have corals...

some only starts after a month...

yeah!! hope i can see some lion dance in

my tank!

[Ah-lim]

Ai yo.

Where got contradicting...

Cycle best with mature live rocks loh, at least 1 month loh.

Then, test water parameter, then slowly add fishy.

[nanotako]

All the readings seem ok for my new tank.

Yo reeftask...

Just read about the Volitan Lion...it needs at least

50Gallon tank and it has a venomous STING!

Moreover it can't make friends with CLOWNS etc...

Is that so???

You like lion dance? LOL. You will do the jumping up and down dance with this lion too, LOL. And you can see the lion "cai lian" everyday to make you dance again, LOL.

You can start the fish and coral even one day and no live rocks or anything. How long will they last? Depends on the owner's patience. If no patience, setup in a hurry, the live stocks will hurry to hell/heaven too.

Had replied your message as below.

Your question: Firstly thank you for the offer!

But is that fish compatible with other fishes e.g. Clown, Tang etc...

Answer: In the ocean there are tangs, clowns, lionfish, and millions of other living things all surviving together.

Your question: Is it easy to keep and any special food it needs?

Answer: It depends how you educate it. Same as other fishes living in the ocean.

Your Question: And most important is it dangerous?

Answer: Humans are dangerous.

Your question: From my research,

this fish stings and it is venomous!

Answer: As long as you dont touch it, it wont hurt you.

Your question: Teach me if I am wrong!

Answer: teach what wrong? I am not a teacher. Or you want me to say "Good morning teacher"?

Lots of ppl has lionfish in a 25g tank for many yrs.

Friends with clowns? They like to watch clowns in the circus. They prefer to sit in the front row and as near to the clownfish. Only the clownfish refuse to befriend the lion.

Nanotako, I suggset you to read this before starting anything. Best you can read 5-6 more things on beginner's guide on the net.

[nanotako]

Thanks a lot...

It sound convincing enough to start with

the LION Fish!

Where to collect from you then?

Btw....burning midnight oil to learn about

the fishes now...

I bet you wont come to collect from me now. I am at the sea now dancing with lionfish.

[shootsimon]

I have 1 blue and 1 yellow damsels to give if you interested. collection at bedok reservoir view.

[nanotako]

Hi Simon...thanks for the offer...Bedok is a bit far from

my place here in Sengkang. I dun drive....

Some terrible thing just happen to my tank...bought

1 Anemone from AM.....it died the next day...now my

tank has turned murky...trying to find the reason the causes

for the death...fishes inside are still doing fine!

[bluezing]

that makes it the 3rd tank crash the tomato clown has encountered!!!

[nanotako]

yup...i think the fish is going through the testing time now!!! haha!

u have any idea why the anemone just die off after 24 hours?

[jem]

it is because your tank is still new for an anemone.

ur tank is going through a cycle.

maybe your nitrate being too high thus causing the anemone to die off....

try to go low in you livestock first..

let the tank mature and add in livestock slowly...

remember to do a search for every livestock u are about to purchase.

and not "see-what-you-like-then-buy"...

hope my little info may help your marine hobby in the long run...

[tjchan]

my tomato also a strong survivor... lol....

nanotako... go read up other people's nano tank thread and find out what equipment, what readings and what fish they keep... then learn from it...
