Fuzzy Dwarf

I just love my fuzzy. I snapped a new pic tonight so I thought I would share a couple of my favs since I got him.

He would be COOL in a 29! I have seen some awesome specimens out there lately.

Or a nice frogfish in a 29.

lions are absolutely beautiful fish. i had a zebra, antinata and volotin once. colors were stunning, bright reds, purple blues. too bad mines only ate live ghost shrimp.
i kept them for a 2 years and the sold them.

Renee - great images!

Iglowce - I think that it is a dwarf lionfish.

It's a Fuzzy Dwarf Lionfish (Dendrochirus brachypterus). They are very common and I always see them at the LFS. But I waited a year to get this one looking for the nice red color.

He eats frozen krill and fresh uncooked table shrimp. I feed him on Monday, Wed and Fridays and give it to him until he stops eating.

The Volitan is staring at me..... he's wondering why I featured the angler and the fuzzy and not him.



I haven't succeeded in getting this pose perfectly aligned yet. I'm hoping to capture it when he moves to the 24 gallon cube this week.... right now he is in a 6 gallon.

hopefully, you've got a lot of room for that tang. i'd add the tang last. let the lion get good and settled.

the lion will eat any ornamental shrimp that fit into its mouth, as well as any fish that will. the rule of thumb is that tankmates should be at LEAST half the size of the lion.

our fuzzy currently resides with a few snails and a couple of scarlet hermits.

Hmmm... seems everyone is getting interested in scorpionfish eh.

I've decided that my new 29G is going to be a home for a fuzzmeister!! It will be the ONLY fish in there...methinks. I'm setting it up as we speak. I am just debating on whether to drill, or use a hang on type filter.

I found this article to be quite informative:

The Lionfish Info Sheet: Captive Care and Home Husbandry by Frank Marini, Ph.D. - Reefkeeping.com

I WILL have a Dendro before the snow melts in New England
