bluefin or blackfoot lionfish

[rayn]

Or Parapterois heterura for you scientific minded folks. Just wondering after a quick search, who has one? Also what is the time frame of keeping one seem to be? What temps are you keeping one at?

That said.....







First pics are the first year, second set are the second year. Yep, I have had this guy for two years now in October. Until about two weeks ago his home was a 40B with a chiller that kept it at 61 degrees. He just moved over to a 150 +- lobster tank that is chilled down to 61 degrees as well. He eats like a champ, silversides, krill...on occasion only, salmon, about any salt water meat.

Current only friends are a Erosa erosa that has been with me about four months longer
