this one is about 2.5 inches long , I think that is about the average size for fighters..
No yellow tang actually he is recovering from a bad bout of fin fungus which is a pain in the butt to rid, seems that one of my other fighters has it , so have him in my hospital tank.. they are a most peaceful fish to have in a tank, just as long as u dont put 2 in the same tank, as I once made that mistake, took all of 30 secs for both of them to be too badly injured to recover... I am hoping to get a couple of females soon.. try to establish a breeding program .... |

From memory, mine normally looked like that!
![]() Tiny, Yes ,I think that's the normal size! - My Derek McInerny book states, males 2.75in, females 2.5in. I've just realised that he also calls the Lion Fish, a Dragon Fish. (I'd forgotten the book covered tropicals! ![]() I've now got something new (well, old) to read. ![]() |

More about the Derek McInerny book.
In the 1960's this was the book to have. Over the years I accumulated others, but this was the one I came to rely on. I seem to remember that it was also one of the first to have a good percentage of colour illustrations, which sounds strange by today's standards, for a book on tropical fish!
![]() As you would expect, it covers all aspects of keeping an aquarium, but is principally about freshwater tropicals. Out of the 480 pages, only the last 17 pages cover marine tropicals. (Thats the part I had completely forgotten about!). And it's the very last page that caught my attention! ........... Dragon Fish, indeed! - mmmm. ![]() Be it Lion or Dragon, it's a nasty little sod, isn't it? ............. and I thought we had a nice community fish in our presence! ![]() Last edited by cjmaddy; 02-04-2003 at 12:46 PM. |

Cliff,
Yeah thats about the size of it as far as the Lionfish goes. I have stood in an aquarium store and watched them put feeder fish in with them. Those things can move fast when they want too. ![]()

Rich,
Check with the place where you got him. The really good places I have delt with in the past will replace a fish if it dies within 30 days of the purchase. As far as the screenshots go, sorry, Jim hasn't released anything along those lines.

Freshwater tanks are my first love. Don't get me wrong, a marine aquarium on my two computer screens make a lovely addition to the collection, but I'd realllllly love to see either the goldfish or the Freshwater aquarium. then, my *scene* in my little home office would flow from my little MacPlus Aquarium (real) to the two monitors that sit right beside it...
And fit right in with the other miscellaneous tanks scattered about... ...hopefully to the 110g that a friend is contemplating *lending* me...(in his dreams!, like it would come into the house and ever leave!) |

Otherwise, it's appreciated if people do not post invented dates. I have no timeline for you on the Freshwater Aquarium. And snapshots of what is complete so far would not do it justice. The amount of animation created for something that plays back in 3 1/2 seconds is astounding. The treasure chest seems done to me, as well as some of the terrain. Jim said he was going to get back to the fish now when I left him.

Hahaha! When I first glanced at this topic I thought it was a thread for a 'Freshwater BETTA' and I got really excited.
Doh!
