Aquarium Chiller
salt aquarium 79 gallon tall.?
thinking of starting a salt tank. I have 1yr experience with fresh water and planted aquariums.
What do I need? Just want a lion fish or two. DO I need a chiller and what about protein skimmer? what are they? what about filtration, I have an unused 350 magnum canister that came with tall 79 gallon aquarium.
Can I keep more than one lionfish in the same tank?
Some lionfish will behave aggressively toward members of their own kind. For example, twinspot and shortfin lionfish have been known to chase one another – incessantly, in some cases. The submissive fish (the one being chased) will often stop feeding and may perish if not removed from the aquarium. Many Pterois tend to be more tolerant of their own species, as well as other lionfish species.
When placing more than one lionfish in the same tank, it is best to add smaller individuals first. Of course, problematic aggression is also less likely if the tank is larger. When keeping lionfish together, make sure you spend time watching them. If an individual is harassing others, you will need to remove the aggressor or those individuals getting picked on to ensure their survival.
Aggressive encounters between lionfish are typically limited to lateral displays, gill cover flaring and head shaking. If one individual does not back down, the combatants may bite each other. For example, an aggressive shortfin lionfish may grasp the head of an opponent in its mouth and vigorously shake it from side to side. This behavior can result in damage to the jaws of the fish that is attacked. Individuals may also bite the flanks of a species member. Some lionfish will ram each other with their venomous dorsal spines.
Although a lionfish stung by a species member will usually not die as a result, it can cause temporary distress, including an increased respiration rate (as much as three times its normal rate) and decreased swimming activity. I have also seen Dendrochirus lions in the wild that were missing eyes, which I would guess was the result of spines poking into them. I suggest the volitan they are my favorite. and never feed live goldies they cannot digest the properly and provide no nutritional value and they will eat as much as you give them so take car to not overfeed them and kill them. good luck
