By feeder fish do you mean it only eats live fish.
Sorry I know its off the sale topic but was just wondering?
 
Yes, the guy i got him from fed him the odd molly here and there, i've chucked mollies in aswell as they adapt to the salt water and actually live a couple off moment longer than your normal comets...it's pretty evil but what can you do.

@prinesh, i'll do my best and keep you posted, he is really beautiful! Do you have a predator tank???

Yup got a 700l with a panther grouper and golden heart trigger I'll be starting a thread on it soon
 
Guys, you know that the black mollies (among others) can be acclimated to salt water and apparently breed faster in salt than in freshwater. You could just plumb a small tank into your set up and breed mollies for food. Because they will be raised in salt water, they will be a marine fish so they will have the correct vitamins and stuff to be a staple diet :)

Actually mollies come from brackish water. I've seen quite a few mollies in reef tanks :)

They used to be the prime fish used to cycle SW tanks before people realized it wasn't a cool thing to do (cycle tanks with fish). But they can definately live in SW.

no lol.. The ones that are born in the salt water are. There was an article on masa about that
 
the story is that eventually lion fish or other predators will starve to death if you only feed them fw mollies or other feeder fish as the fw fish has diff amino acids and bla bla. So when the fish is born and raised in sw, it has the correct nutritional value
 
Ask @herkie, he's had a black molly or 2 living with his lion fish for some time now, 'em mollies must be clever fish to survive living with lionfish, perhaps Herkie feeds them too well and the lions getting lazy to go hunting :whistling:
