thats a really nice fuzzy. Is he eating yet?
Is that the only fish you plan on keeping. the reason i ask is becuase i had a few gobies in with my fuzzy and about 2 months later I awoke to find a tail sticking out of my fuzzies mouth...of course I couldn't catch the fuzzy (he was in a 300) and he died the next day. |

to be honest i havent decided if im going to add anythng else yet i would like to but theres always that risk that the fuzzy with nip and rip what other fish would you recomend if i did have another fish? i was thinking posibly a young snowflake then when he gets bigger i can put him in my 75. i dont know what would you recomend?

i had a fuzzy dwarf about 7 months ago. he ate all his tankmates, except a tomato clownfish. sadly when he ate the lawnmower blenny(almost as big as he was) he died the next day.
he was a great fish though, it did take me a little while to get him to eat prepared meals, prob about a month. but after that he would eat anything that hit the surface.

i just fed him live brime he's loving it but are the live foods bad for them? everyone is saying that they should adjust to frozen foods it may sound like a stupid question but i was just wondering what that was all about anyone know?

brine shrimp isn't a good food for him, they are nutritiously null. Its expensive feeding REAL live foods to a saltwater fish. I'd try and get him onto mysis shrimp, and decently quickly.

I recently acquired a Dwarf Fuzzy Lionfish. It is very attracted to frozen krill and frozen plankton. I hold one end of one of those and move it around at the surface of the water and it comes right over for it...but be careful and make sure you let go of it before it comes to your hand. It is ravenous when it comes to the krill and plankton but it won't take mysis...I guess because of it being so much smaller.
