All about The Fuzzy Dwarf Lionfish or Shortfin Lionfish or Dwarf Lionfish

We got a brand new lionfish to introduce to the All About Series! The dwarf lionfish is a fan favorite to a lot of tank owners who do not want a massive Volitan Lionfish in their tank. While they can be in the reef tank, whatever can fit in their mouth, is very likely to be eaten. So be careful what fish you put with this lion!

I had a dwarf lionfish in my tank way back in the day. It and the hermit crabs were the only survivors after a power outage in the middle of January. Handled the cold water just fine. Didnt have any problems with the fella getting along with the other fish in the tank. The hermit crabs however... Murdered and ate anything that chilled on the floor or rocks that was too slow to get away. Anyway, mine ate dead brine shrimp no problem.

[@recon_M]

I always wanted you to make a video about them 😁I have a full grown fuzzy and a dwarf zebra ,they are by far my favourite fish I own ..

[@bobbiesueleonard61]

Wow. Never seen one. Pretty cool little Lion Fish.

[@BrockLeonard]

Thanks for watching!

[@brianleonard3824]

Great video!

[@sseeaahhaawwkkssrule975]

I've been wanting a lionfish since I setup my tank 3 years ago but I have too many hermit crabs and shrimp and small fish to get a lionfish now. Thank you for this video Brock

[@BrockLeonard]

Thanks for stopping by to watch!

[@MPrz59]

Seen these guys at my lfs a few times and they are so cool, keep up the great work!

[@BrockLeonard]

Thanks for coming to watch! Have a great weekend

[@MPrz59]

@@BrockLeonard you too

[@89Johneboy]

Hey Brock! I have a questionnnnnn for youuuuuu... So with those vemonous spikes... do they have to merely touch you or does the fish literally have to attack you with them? Dont the bigger lionfish have like wiskers instead that sting? Thanks for all you do!

[@semaphor3]

I have a fu manchu, zebra dwarf and adding the fuzzy this week in my reef tank. Took me about 2 months to get them onto frozen, model citizens they don't touch my other fish. But that's because I keep them well fed.

[@HENRYANESDRUMS777]

Awesome video !!

[@BrockLeonard]

Thanks for watching Brock 😁😁

[@katemelnyk9732]

Hey can you keep him with a coral beauty, foxface, file fish , and a lubbock wrasse? Thank you love your videos

[@i_cant_think8947]

I’ve seen a few of these in my LFS but they were yellow instead of browns and tans

[@jamesalcantara98]

I have trio of them (1 male and 2 female), appreciate the explanation on why it's with caution on the reef since they are pretty reef safe but not small fish and invert safe haha, pretty misunderstood fish but one of the most easiest and low maintenance fish I have ever kept! 2 of mine eats pellets already, one sticks to frozen

[@BrockLeonard]

That’s amazing! I bet having a trio swimming around is a site to see 😍

[@semaphor3]

@@BrockLeonard "Swim", mine are lazy little guys, they perch on my super high end zoas half the time, have to chase them off.

[@BigStevesGlassBoxCreations]

Are you intending to breed?

[@Christian-kc1jd]

Can u do a all about on the dragon wrasse

[@recon_M]

Hi bro I love the video, just one tip: don’t put them with triggers or puffers , my trigger fish killed my first ever dwarf lionfish and my Valentini puffer started nipping at my full grown fuzzy .. , anyway love the content 😀

[@conorbjj7608]

Did the puffer end up okay? I have one and considering the fuzzy

[@kyawthuta9058]

I've been waiting for this

[@BrockLeonard]

YAY! Glad I could get it out for ya. Thanks for watxhing

[@_TheRealDoe]

Man u gotta keep making videos. I actually like your videos. Make all about galaxea corals. Clove polyps.

[@BrockLeonard]

Galaxea is a great recommendation! Here is the clove polyps coral I have done kzbin.info/www/bejne/opaXeXpsnsyfpbM

[@_TheRealDoe]

@@BrockLeonard u would get more viewers i think if u keep posting ur channels underrated

[@BrockLeonard]

@@_TheRealDoe thank you! That means a lot. We’ve hit almost 250 all about videos so far! I try to do at least once a week and more if I have time.

[@Relaxmiles]

Hey Brock! Love the videos! I recently got a tiny baby fuzzy lionfish and he’s eating frozen mysis shrimp. I see him swimming around the water column a lot like if he’s looking for something. How often do you recommend I feed him?

[@BrockLeonard]

That’s awesome! I’d recommend feeding 3-4 times a week. Sometimes they can eat a portion every day. At the beginning id try to feed something each day to see how often it wants to eat. They will ignore you if they are full haha

[@MrJamie1978]

This is my favorite fish in my tank. I only feed it live ghost shrimp he absolutely loves to stalk them.

[@yoanayd]

you should keep them have a vast diet instead of the same thing for extra nutrience, i would recommend for you to try other shrimp like grass!

[@BigStevesGlassBoxCreations]

I just got a baby fuzzy. Such an awesome looking fish! Hopefully my coral b shrimp won't fit in his mouth.

[@Reber7804]

Hey Brock.. quick question. So i have some Lyre tail anthias that are doing very well. I feed twice a day. I really like the look of bartletts. Would two feedings be enough for them as well? Thanks :)

[@BrockLeonard]

Hey Chels ☺️ yes two times a day would be perfect for the bartletts!

[@russellkeith3193]

will they eat nori thx you i just got one

[@brentjustinchua2422]

RUFF RUFF BARK!

[@richygilvear9857]

can you keep him with a spotted sweetlips, dragnet goby, clown fish and rainbow rasp

[@BrockLeonard]

yes!

[@ccn5065]

will this ok with my helfrichis firefish and royal gramma ? i think is no but the guy in my LFS is just 1.5 inches long

[@semaphor3]

It would be 50/50, I have a mandarin in my system and my lions dont care for it. My zebra is a pretty meaty boy, but I feed it often so it never needs to stalk my fish for food.

[@ccn5065]

Fabian yeah but i just ordered some anthias so no

[@Jonnyb3]

I just got mine today! He’s just layin in the corner and I’m a little concerned. He’s currently in a 55g tank I tested my water and it reads perfect partially because of my water change. Can you help me figure out what’s going on?

[@BrockLeonard]

Could just be that it is having a hard time acclimating to the new tank. Make sure no one is bullying him. Maybe try getting some live foods in there like ghost shrimp to entice him to eat.

[@Jonnyb3]

@@BrockLeonard hey its working out great I got him on red rosies at the moment, but I'm so confused on how many times I should feed him I get so many different answers each time

[@BrockLeonard]

@@Jonnyb3 really just depends on the fish. Once a day at least. But if you notice his belly is not staying full throughout the day, give em some more!

[@Sabertooth_54]

Will it eat my dragonets, clownfish, and damsels there all around 3-4 inches

[@BrockLeonard]

As a juvenile no. As an adult, if well fed, you should not have to worry.

[@Sabertooth_54]

@@BrockLeonard thank you

[@nickcarroll4547]

So I was thinking maroons darf lion fish and starry Blenny 🤔🤔🤔

[@BrockLeonard]

hmmm as the lion fish grows, it could eventually see it as a snack. I would try to get the largest starry you could find.
