Don't feed your fish freshwater critters as it may cause them to become sick and eventually die. Stick with frozen silversides.

yeah fresh water fish are bad for them, but ive heard that crayfish are ok once in a great while, i only do that like once every few months or so. i only started doing it to keep my dogfaced puffers teeth under control. the only problem is my lion only seems to want to eat live food, hes a little picky. its funny though, my porci puffer and the lion are best friends and even sleep together, they like to cuddle!!! seriously they cuddle...

are there no type of Live Saltwater Fish that would work? They take frozen foods very well, but live is more fun to watch. =)

Sure, if you can find cheap live saltwater feeder fish, go for it. I know that I can't find that kind of food here but who knows what's in your area

I wonder if i could get a couple of those Cardnials that breed easily in tanks and just hatch out some food. =) i think they are called Banghi Carinal fish or something like that. I got a 30gal just laying around and alot of extra live rock. think i read they like to breed every 30 days or so with good tank conditions. the trick will be finding somewhere to put the tank. lol

I had damsels in with the lions and an eel before i upgraded my tank. they were to quick for anything to catch them. i'll never have another damsel though. hate those things.

I had an undulated trigger, he was really fun but had to get rid of him, would kill anything and everything else I'd try to put in the tank, super fast and agile + their the absolute most aggressive fish.

I wish i had a video of it but the guy i gave him too had a tank with a banded cat shark, about a 2 1/2 foot long guy in it

undulated killed it, he was about 5" long
