FW Lionfish?

[pufferfreak]

They sell them at my LFS but they werent at stock at the time. Does anyone know what the minimum tank size of these things are?

They're pretty small. I think I read somewhere that they get 4" so a 10g would be fine.

WOW. definitley getting one of those!!!!

From what I have been reading they only grow to 3 inches. Think I would want more than a 10 gallon for them though. Be nice to them and give them some space

They don't move much, but apparently are a bit territorial and VERY messy eaters

IME of these fish that's nothing like the behaviour of them.
They move around loads I haven't seen a scrap of territorality at all in fact they stay together most of the time and they are certainly not as messy an eater as a puffer.
Just my experience I might add.
