That is not what is commonly refered to as a freshwater lionfish. "freshwater lions" are actually a type of reef Toadfish that also lives in estuaries where it can venture into full fresh water. Forgot the sci. name.
Avoid "log-looking" fish!

Mine was free, the lfs gave it to me after the third time it had been returned for eating fish, I was told it ate several dorados one night.
My LFS had 3 of them for $5.99 each, I bought two as one had a red sore on it's face, well within a week both of mine had the red sore and they passed on. I really miss them as it was an awesome fish to own, I've been looking all over for another but can't seem to find one.
Sorry for the loss Mudfrog! If you find some more...pic em up...i'm interested in owning a garbage disposal!
Will do, here are a couple pics, you can see the red sore on the tail in the first pic. They were truly in awesome fish. I did find one place with them but they need a minimum order of $50, the fish is only like $5 though, don't need 10 of these guys.
