   |  Dwarf Lion
Well I was out yesterday picking up a 125 for our ever growing Albino Zebra Cichlid collection( we have a mated pair that has had 6 brood in less then a year). Anyway, while I was at the LFS, I picked up a dwarf lion(A P. antennata) since he was giving me a nice discount on anything I buy. He has just been hanging out in the rockwork, more or less in one place all day. I am aware that they are normally rock dwellers and just chill during the day. Just curious if it is normal for one of the beauties to hang out in one position all day... _________ 72 gallon bowed 150lbs LR 60 lbs LS

Mine used to do that. He found him a happy place and just kinda hangs out there alot. got to where he will swim out a bit when i walk up to the tank, especially at feeding time. My Volitan does the same thing. They do get out and about alot more at night when the lights are off though. =) | |

Yea my Fuzzy Dwarf just chills in the rocks all day except when he's hungry. And when he was new it took him a few days to get acclimated to the environment and come out even to eat. You probably won't see him very active until the weekend. Don't worry about it. _________ 125 Gal Reef.

no, ghost shrimp  the ones used for live bait  Can get them for like 50 cents each. And all they need to be held in is a bucket or Aquarium if you fancy, with bubbler. _________  | |
