Searching

[Deonfish]

Hey I’ve been trying to get a Yellow dwarf lionfish a year and a half now. Besides ibluewater.com does anyone know were to get one. I have two yasha gobies and one damsel in my tank so far. Ik the lion could eat them but I built this tank specially for it if I can’t find one this year I think imma quite the hobby it’s the only fish I really want so I appreciate u all plz let me know

Possibly directly contact some online vendors and put in the request with them. Some fish species are more commonly found during certain times of the year.

But, ibluewater.com has one on their site, why aren't you buying it???

The yellow fuzzy is a hard find. The other fish in your tank would be food. I have cared for lions over 30 years and have only seen a hand full of them. I found one after about 1.5 years searching and found another pretty beaten up at a lfs, being sold as a regular fuzzy. What size tank do you have, you may have to consider another price fish, or frankly, just shut your tank down.

I’ve tried contacting them no reply I’ve had other ppl in my community say their not reliable. Also I can’t find any solid reviews on them my lfs said his rep can’t find them

I have a 45 jbj and I know they would be food I have a friend with a tank or I’ll put them in my 13 I don’t have any room for a bigger tank. Plus I wouldn’t know wat else to get.

Some consider the rhinopias to be the holy grail of predatory fish. A red fuzzy is also quite striking, diet has a large play on this coloration. The tank does need to be covered, as fuzzies are jumpers.

That’s a nice looking fish you have Mr. King I’ve had this tank fully prepped and ready for one I have a buddy who goes fishing in the gulf and a nice fish and meat market only 25 min away for fresh food for it. I’m just looking for that golden ticket lol..ik it can be hard to find but where did you get yours?? I can see the love u give it through these photos

That one came from ibluewater. They are pretty much possible to get hold of these days, and just because it's on their website doesn't mean they have it. Here's the one I got at an lfs, this one came in kind of beat up, with just a few flecks of yellow. When he recovered and got healthy, this is what he turned into. Even if you get a basic fuzzy and feed hismlive ghost shrimp and chunks of salmon, he will redden up in color. These foods contain astaxanthin, look it up to understand what I mean by this will enhance reds, oranges, and even the yellow colors. I've known people brown out their yellow fuzzies by feeding them an inadequate diet,
