Hey guys. Do you still carry live brine? Got any in right now? And can I put all of them directly in the tank with a dwarf lyonfish, or do I have to keep them in a separate tank and only put in a few at a time? I'm not sure I have a "holding tank" for them.

Thanks.

Thanks Josh. If I put them all in the tank, will the Lyonfish just eat until he pops, or will they be left to swim around for a few days until he eats them all? And if I have to put them in another tank, would a QT tank with a HOB Aquaclear filter be safe, or will they get sucked up in the filter?

They just have a airstone in the tank with the brine, I'm sure they have an extra airstone if you don't have one.

yea, I just throw them in my 2.5 with a heater and airstone. Never did know what to feed them though.

I put mine in a fishbowl with an airstone. Didnt use a heater and fed them phyto. To feed the fish, I'd just scoop some out with a small net and put them in the display. Fish go nutso for these things.
