The Lion Fish may be one of the aquarium industry’s popular marine fish. There are 2 types : The large Growing and small Dwarf that never grow large .
Though they are only hardy if water condition is good , Lion Fish can still get sick, so need regular monitoring and care. This includes regular water testing and tank cleaning .
The water parameters need to be constant. You should check water conditions often, as the quicker a change is detected, the easier it will be to put right again.
Water changes of at least 25% should be done every 2 weeks, and even more for smaller aquariums.
Excess food should be removed to prevent algal growth and nitrite/nitrate sickness. Visible algae can be cleaned using a suitable magnet cleaner.
Long Term Survival note : Feed only once every alternate day, giving only enough for 1/2 full stomach with sterilized meaty seafood or Frozen ghost shrimp.
This way the Lion fish will be slow growing so will delay being a threat to smaller fish ! If Fed too full too often will hid in the rocks and sleep so you cannot see !
