Bullrout long term consequences of freshwater housing?

You sure you're not mixing them up with marbled gobies?

I could be,if a marbled goby looks just like them.

They sort of have the same shape and colour palette, are always lying on the bottom of the tanks and are quite sedentary so they are kind of similar.

Yeah but their head/faces are totally different.I bought one home from a market a few years ago but it did not live long.
During my errands over the next few days I will try to swing by one of those markets and see if they have any that I can take some photos of.Stay tuned.

Just checked out the nearest Asian market and their live stock was pretty depleted....empty tanks aplenty.All they had was some eels and a tank full of twelve inch largemouth bass.

Bass? I thought they were more of a game fish than a food fish.

Live and ten bucks a pound,now that you've mentioned it I sure don't recall ever hearing of anyone eating a bass.You just never know what will turn up in those markets.

We got some bullrout, aka freshwater lionfish to some people, at my work and I've been contemplating one in my 210. I've read contradictory things about whether or not they require a saline environment to thrive. The tank is a hardwater setup, so salinity is my only concern.

Thanks!
