Vids of Multi-Lionfish Setup

[namxas]

We've been playing "musical tanx", so here's a couple of quick iphone vids:

Feeding Time

P. Sphex Making Like a Crinoid after a Bite

A. taenianotus Making Like a Leaf


The tank is a 48" 100 gal, and contains Pterois sphex, P. radiata, a M-F pair of Dendrochirus brachypterus, and an Ablabys taenianotus. FWIW, all four of the lionfish came from DD. The waspfish was an LFS find.

Nice videos, I do like the feeding video.

Are those pieces of food you're feeding abnormally small or is that the typical size you feed? That seems very small compared to most videos I see of feeding lions.

 

[namxas]

That's the typical size in terms of fish-to-food size ratio. If offered a choice, most fish will eat smaller food items, and with their slow metabolism, the smaller pieces are more easily digested.

Gorgeous fish and setup. Love the feather caulerpa.

Great videos, and great fish.

Thanx for the kind words. We're really loving the P. sphex...it was a cool/rare find, and the fish is just great. It's outgoing, gets along with the other fish, and is a solid feeder.

Your fish and tank look really great. I realized that when I replaced the line last time on my feeding stick that I had made it too long. So after watching your feeding video I cut it shorter and it is actually a lot easier to use.
