Pterois Volitans
Pterois Lionfish should be added to well established aquariums with plenty of rock work, caves, crevices and overhangs for hiding. Lionfish are not reef safe and will hunt small fish, crustaceans, and anything else they can fit in their mouth. They are hardy, undemanding and readily take meaty and live foods. They have low metabolisms and should only be fed two to three times per week. Care will need to be taken when feeding and cleaning the aquarium as Lionfish have venomous dorsal spines. They are capable of leaping forward to inject the venom when threatened. Lionfish are nocturnal and generally solitary in the wild. House with tank mates that will not nip at their fins.
Volitan Lionfish are a beautiful white colour with vertical red brown or even black stripes. Volitan Lionfish can grow up to 40cm in length.
We recommend a minimum aquarium size of 500L or larger for this species.
