be verwy verwy carefull.

seriously; feed with tongs, try to only let the siphon in for vacuuming, in general minimize the time that your hands are in the tank.
if he does sting you is not fatal unless you're allergic, otherwise it just really suxxx.
 
lets not forget one of the most beautiful sw fish available the harlequin tusk and maybe even a trigger let us know what you do pics are great too

How would I keep from getting stung by the lionfish?

Its pretty easy anyway but the absolute best way is to feed just before doing maintenance. Then all he will want to do is sit there and digest.
 
Won't the lionfish break the plasic bag you take him home in?

Can I keep more than one volitans lion fish or other lionfish? If so, how many?

Can I keep more than one moray eel?
 
you can get two of any kind of lion.
i don't know about mixing eels, but i would think so.

if you're freaking about the fish poping the bag put it in a bgger bag w/a few sheets of newspaper lining it. works for p's too.
 
yes they can, and it's a good choice too, so are marine bettas and sweetlips.
(the sweetlips i think MIGHT get too big, have to refresh myself with adult size)
 
First get the tank. Do you want sand or crushed coral? I would use 4spotted groupers to cycle the 240. They don't get large and can handle brackish water.
