Yeah i really like the green in his fins.

Nice, I'd leave him alone for a day or two before trying to feed him.

 

[4FordFamily]

Gorgeous!

 

[Redneckreef90]

Thanks guys. I am going to try and get him some live food today to see what he does.

 

[Chrisfish]

Absolutely beautiful!!

He ate today!!!!! The LFS I got him from had ghost shrimp and feeder guppies. He hunted down the shrimp and got them just seconds after I put them back in. Haven't tried the guppies yet. Will try them in a day or two. The only thing I couldn't find was a clear acrylic feeding probe. @Lionfish Lair any suggestions where to look? Petco, petsmart or the store I bought him from didn't have one.

Whoa, they used to be everywhere and now I can't seem to even find them online. I'll keep looking to see what I can find.

Thanks. I am going to look at,a craft store for acrylic rods.

So cute!

The size to look for is around 1/8". It won't crack, but gives you great flexibility for the perfect "jiggle" and bend it out of sight. This Is going to be a pain, as I'm always recommending these to people. Rigid airline is close, but it's not very stealthy, if one if trying to go that way.

I will let you know if I find anything

Great looking dwarf zebra! He has some lovely colors! Glad to hear he's eating and doing well. My dwarf zebra is my favorite of my lionfish because he's so interactive and personable. They really have great personalities

I got a clear acrylic rod from TAP Plastics to use as a feeding stick. If you don't have a plastics/acrylic store locally, then craft stores would definitely be a great place to check.

I got mine from http://www.eplastics.com/. It was so nice being able to send people to their LFS or Petco/Petsmart. I'm going to check locally and see if it's the same sad state of affairs.

Beautiful lion! Makes me miss the fuzzy dwarf I had years ago.

@Lionfish Lair had some good progress on feeding my lion today. He has been eating feeder guppies and ghost shrimp without any hesitation. He had started eating them off of a pair of long tweezers. Well tonight I tried some frozen ghost shrimp soaked in garlic guard and he absolutely tore it up. I will try some frozen feeder guppies tomorrow.
