I have a 75g tank that I'm going to setup for my very fast growing s. brasiliensis. I swear every time I look at it this fish it is bigger. I was thinking about my stocking options.
I know I can throw in a couple dispensable damsels, but I was thinking about a lionfish. Maybe a fuzzy or maybe even a russells. I would really like a radiata or antennata but I don't see those very often around here. I saw really nice fuzzy that my lfs got in this week. I know feeding might be more difficult because the lionfish would probably out compete the s. brasiliensis for food, but I could get around that with feeding the lionfish first then stick or target feeding the s. brasiliensis.
Lisa, Greg, or Renee any opinions on what else could be thrown in with it?
On a side note. I still haven't been able to get it to eat anything but silversides. I have tried pieces of shrimp, tiny whole river shrimp, and some chunks of fish. I'm thinking it might be the shape of the food. I was cutting cubes like I would for eel or russells when I had it. Maybe I should be trying longer thinner pieces. Any advice on this? Is a diet of silversides stuffed with nls pellets ok for the s. brasiliensis?
