Here are some pics of my lionfish in a 20 gallon quarantine. He's been in their for nearly 2 weeks now...eating frozen krill/silversides (Finally).

My camera is 10 megapixels....and it looks crappy. Also does anyone know how to take of the grid that appears on the camera when taking pics?

...i know how the males are the one's that get really huge or at least look really muscular. The lfs told me "don't worry he'll be fine in a 72 gallon they only need a 50 gallon." After a while an mfk member told me they should be in at least a 90 when adult, so my cousin said when he get's larger he'll take him. My cousin has a 250 gallon tank of preds
 
I wish everyone could just give them a specie tank...this was one of my two favorite fish of all time. Flava Flav the lionfish...or big boi the tiger oscar. :D

(And yes...there was a grouper called chuckD and a plecostomus named Andre3000)
 
volitans are my favorite lions... i think there was a segment with one on the discovery channel blue planet series.. a male was in an argument with a grouper over territory/feeding grounds.

anywho, theyre very striking fish, keep us updated!
 
lol, now that I think about it a specie tank for lions woudn't be so bad.....too bad my tank is to small for even one full grown one. I was looken for reall small voltains but my lfs never had them. When I purchased this one...the day after they had 7 tiny ones!!! I was pissed.
