lionfish

How big should the tank be for one lionfish?? with some other fish of course??

Well it depends. Which species do you want to get? And at what size. I have had this one since it was big enough only to eat baby guppies. Now he eats anything. He even eats out of my hand. hes been raised in a 22gl tank. But for the adults you will need something bigger. like a 60 breeder or even better a 75. They have long fins and need the extra width.And be carefull what fish you mix, they eat anything!

Is it smart letting a fish that carries poisen to eat out of your hand? Other then that, you have a beautiful fish.

I've raised this fish since it was a baby. And only the dorsal spines carry poison. And if I did get stung it would just give me a burning sensation for about a week. Im not saying go stick your hand in front of the spines but I am extremly carefull, and have years of experence. thanks for your concern though.

peace,
