    Granted, it's a dwarf fuzzy lion, and they're supposed to be the easiest to wean. Still, I'm pumped - it only took a whopping 7 days from introducing to my 150 until he finally tried the mysis. And I was already starting to worry after he wouldn't even look at it for the first few days that I would have a problem. I was also pleasantly surprised about how much time he spends out in the open - I figured he would hide most the time.

    Very cool fish.

    I love the fuzzies! They do tend to be the easiest to get on to prepared foods, but any step forward is great. I have had two different fuzzies and neither were very good with the frozen foods. The first one I almost had on frozen foods and then it caught some kind of infection and died. The second was killed when a heater shorted out in the tank. :(

    Wow, sorry to hear that - so I guess some fuzzies are more difficult.

    Damn heaters - is there a bigger potential risk in this damn hobby? All I read about is heaters going berzerk and killing everything. I need to get a controller.
