Batman My Volitans

Nice bro! I've always liked lionfish.

This guy is great man.. just like an oscar.. begs for food and everything..

Very nice-
I have a few pics of different species---Not easy to get the best pics from these guys..

I have tried my hand at keeping the dwarf species...Never had luck with them-Are these guys easy to keep or no?

Hes kinda big almost 9 to 10 inches ( small for a volitans ) I acquired him eating silversides.. So feeding is not a problem.. i have had very small specimens refuse to eat anything, much like the way alot of the dwarf species do.. but besides that, water quality isnt really a big issue.. i just keep the water in good conditions feed him every other day and all is well..

Nice fish... i think I'll stay with FW until I learn more.

Thanks for the kind words.. salt water isnt that hard though, it just takes more to start up.. IMO maintenance is less because of the filtration used for my salt.. on my freshwater tanks i am doing water changes twice a week, but for that tank i do it like once a month..

Nice LION ive been wanting one for a while. I have a tank just sitting there with no stand that i could use for one too. Nice shots too! what camera?

Thanks, i would definately say go for!! just make sure that they eat before you take them home.. sometimes they refuse to eat anything but live and that can be a real pain.. especially with marines. As for my camera, these shots were taken with my Sony DSC-S780.. I cant afford a DSLR and i believe that on the right settings and with the right amount of patience you can get excellent pictures anyways.. I just wish the shutter speed was much faster, alot of pictures come out blurry so you just pull up a chair and

If I were to do SW, it'd be for one of these guys.
Awesome shots.

These are great fish bro.. real stunners, as well as a good convo piece for company that comes over.. he doesnt get stressed that easy people can bang on his tank all day long and he just sits there, unlike my esoxs that if you bang on the tank i fear that they may go airborne
