About a week ago, my freshwater Lionfish (toadfish) passed away. I had him for over a year. He went on about a week or so of not eating ( i was trying to get some variety in his food, but could not find anything local that he liked except Shrimp). He then got to where he would not eat the shrimp. I could maybe get him to eat a very smaller portion of one piece once a week, but that was it. Before the eating episode, he was fine and mobile as they should be. Even on the days I fed him (M,W,F) if it was late in the evening and i walked by the tank. He would come out of hiding and wait for me to feed him. I'm assuming since i did not give him enough variety that was what shortened his life and caused him not to eat. I've done alot more research on them and still up in the air if I want to get another.
This is why i'm asking for suggestions.
Tank Details:
55 gallon Brackish Tank
Sand Substrate
Two Marineland brand top tank filter systems, can't remember model off hand but the bigger units.
I'm looking for one fish that I could keep in this tank. I would really like to stay brackish if possible since I already have most of the stuff to continue the brackish set up.
I loved my lion/toadfish, but just wondering what all else is out there?
Seen an orange toadfish, they looked pretty neat, but uncertain on if they are full salt or not?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
