I do not see a picture.
I'd like to because if I do a salt water tank I've thought about getting a Lionfish.

Wow... That is the best lionfish I have ever seen! What species/subspecies is it? amazing!

 

[MadAboutCPs]

thanks elgecko.

hi spectabilis,

thanks mate. he is Pterois russellii - Russell's lion fish. I have two of them and they are 30cm long. I also have a juvenile of Pterois volitans - Peanice guy lion fish. He's so cool and measures 6 cm long. And these ones enjoy each others company.

Incredible shot! You really caught the moment!


He is either mad or very tired...

Hi Nflytrap,

I have a few more pics. He's not mad, He's a REAL poser and likes to show anyone, even more whose the boss of his tank. Although, I think it may have been a fish yawn. hehe. Or maybe he was stretching.

Yeah, I've seen that too. esp. with cichlids.


I would not be to comfy moving stuff around in his tank though!

 

[MadAboutCPs]

He's pretty docile for a lion fish. And usually, if a hand goes in he rushes to the opposite side and stays there. But if your up close to the glass then he's a show off.

He's so cute! I would still be hesitant to stick my hand in the tank though. Not too much, just a little bit though.

Very nice lion.

Give him a bit and you can teach him to eat out of your hand. That's how I got mine to eat flake.
