Well i just setup my first saltwater fishtank! And i put 2 clownfish in it. Then i put this lionfish. The lionfish ate the clownfish... At least it was a quick death.

  • obviously he knows what hes doing. if more experienced hobbyists want to try this make sure his pectoral fins aren't pointing in front of him when you feed them. luckily this one didn't.

  • I used to work at a fish store and we trained him to eat from our hands. Not to long after this video I got a black volitan. He would swim upside-down at the top of the tank for me to scratch his stomach. Absolutely love lionfish!

  • wow it must be really cold in your house for you to be wearing a hat.

  • It's called a "toque".  I live in Canada, i wear the toque all year.

  • He is still alive :)

    I have a powerhead on the other side of the tank that moves the water around, and i dont have a NITRATE problem because i take care of the tank. :)

    thanks for worrying tho.

  • It actually started doing that right when I bought it. Also picked up a smaller Black Volitan which likes to flip upside down so i can rub its belly.

    On a side note, lionfish LOVE tetrapond sticks for koi. It's like crack for them.
