    Does anyone own a lionfish, On my travels around the lfs today i noticed a small lionfish in one of the display tanks, these fish really interest me. Out of curiosity does anyone own one ?

    here is a short summary

    dwarfs = 30 gal minimum but that is just a suggestion i would go larger if you could
    regular= 75 and up
    have large mouths
    venemous
    awesome
    lazy
    cool looking
    majestic

    they dont like high light and arent aggressive its just that they will eat anything they think can fit in their mouths.
