Lionfish?

[Melonbob]

How big of a tank would I need to keep a lionfish? I just love them and would love to have a small tank with just him and a bit of rock. I was wondering if I could keep it in something small enough to go on an end table or countertop

I wouldnt keep a lionfish(even the dwarf lions)in anything less than a 55.But thats JMO.

bummer, I always thought they'd be happy in a little tank as they aren't huge swimmers. Thanks for the quick reply

ive read they grow very fast!! and need space for their spines too..or it will hurt himself...and to be carefull not getting sting when working at the tank..so space is a must!!
