Lions are great tank fish. The most venomous of fish is the Reef Stonefish (Synanceia verrucosa), and the most poisonous fish is one of the puffers, most probably Takifugu rubripes
 
And damn are stonefish tough...I once had mine in a big rubbermade tub on the basement floor, and when doing WCs I forgot to turn his power bar back on...lived for a week without heater, filter or oxygenation before I noticed lol. Should sell 'em in bowls instead of bettas ;)

PS don't buy one unless you have mucho experience with venomous fish like scorpionfish first...They are potentially deadly...
 
Lionfish make great pets.

They're actually pretty interactive despite the fact that you need to beware their spines.

I used to have a dwarf fuzzy lionfish but an unfortunate accident caused his demise :(

He was one of my favorite fish.
 
freshwater lionfish?
 
i don't believe so but if they are i think the SW are much more so.
i have a fuzzy dwarf and his sting feels about the same as a bee.
