Aggressive tank questions

How much do these guys move? He has been in his corner now for almost three days. He'll jump, ruffle his fins, and move his claws around but that is it. Honestly now the only time I even look in there is to put food by him and make sure he moves or is still breathing.

New question along the same lines. Would a dwarf lion and or a fu manchu be compatible? I have my eyes on a black dwarf lion at the lfs, but wonder about compatability before bringing it home.

Thats a pretty cool looking fish, may have to add one to the collection.

IME, a lion will likely prove to be too heavy a feeder as a tankmate for a ghoul. Also, I've never heard of a black dwarf color morph...are you sure it's not a young black volitans?

It is possi le that it is mismarked. The lfs has it listed as a dwarf lion and looking at it, it is basically black. If they are to messy, so be it. I don't have to have one. Ill do some looking into others that may be compatible. They also has angler. Not sure what kind though.

Looking again tonight it was a fuzzy dwarf. They got a second that I really liked, but thinking about what you said kept me from doing it. I may have to set another tank just for one or two dwarfs.
