Meet Butterfly

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Lion looks great, and you should see it continue to grow. But I'm worried about the puffer in the tank. Puffers and triggers are bad tankmates for lionfish. They are known to bite the spines on lionfish and stress the fish to death. I would keep a very close eye on that puffer.

I'm not saying it can't work, but more often than not it doesn't work.

thanks for the info, much appreciated.
So far everyone is leaving eachother alone and working good.
tank isn't too crowded and there is enough room to keep to themselves.
im ready to remove any trouble makers if they show themselves..

Video of lionfish feeding. The trigger takes the first piece and the clicking noise is him eating the shrimp. My puppy wouldn't stop barking throughout the video. LoL. I was gonna add music to get rid of the background sound but the trigger eating was better.
Puppy hates the trigger with a passion and it's the only fish she barks at since the first 2 mins he's been in my tank.
