Dwarf Zebra Lion for Possible Sale/Trade

I have a 4" Dwarf Zebra Lionfish that I need to get rid of because it has stung my puffer twice in the last month. Not his fault, my puffer is just really clumsy when he eats and pays no attention to anything else in the tank. As long as my puffer pulls through in these next few days the Lion will need to go. I've had the Lion since December, it is 100% healthy. I don't have pics because my camera sucks, but he looks exactly like every other Dwarf Zebra Lion. Tops out at 7" so is a nice way to own a lion with a smaller tank. Here's some general info and a pic:

I bought him from Dr. F&S. I feed him gut loaded freshwater ghost shrimp every 3 days, with occasional black mollies about 3 times a month. I have a tank full of both, which I breed for him and also my brothers arowana and knife fish. Anyone who takes the Lionfish can have all of the shrimp and mollies.

$15 cash, open to trades for low-light corals or other fish (particularly a wrasse or a small puffer).

** This is all dependent on my puffer surviving, so I will know by the weekend**
 
Okay, puffer is still discolored but his eyes are clear and he is eating so I think he will be fine.

I need to move this Lion by the weekend. Please let me know if there is any interest, I'd rather give him away then bring him to an LFS.

Also, if there is no interest does anyone know if Les at Fishy will take him?
 
I've always wanted to put a Lion in my tank, but I have shrimp that I'd like to keep.
 
I'll call Fishy tomorrow to see about taking him sunday if he is not gone.

DgenR8, I'm not sure if he would eat the shrimp or not because he isn't interested in the snails or the hermits. I would think a full size cleaner or blood shrimp would be too big for him, even if he were bigger. I don't blame you for not wanting to risk a $35 shrimp though.

Fishy's phone isn't working. But they'll definitely take him ;)

That stinks. I feel like a scummer just showing up at the doorstep with a fish without notifying them first, especially since it is only eating live food right now.

ANYONE WANT A FREE LIONFISH BEFORE I TAKE HIM TO FISHY TOMORROW?
