This fish is an average swimmer but can sprint when in critical situations. Lionfish can be seen in red or white color with zebra crossing in its body. Lionfish are dangerous and poisonous. It’ll strike it opponents with needle like fins which is very painful. That strike injects venom on the victim. Lionfish is looking absolutely stunning and beautiful. But it can move fast and attack enemies. Lionfish do not use its fins as offensive. It is using it as defense mechanism just like any other natural organisms. Dragon fish, scorpion fish, turkey fish, and devil firefish are the other common names to lionfish. Lionfish population is almost stable in the world.
Lionfish is using as food in many countries. In fact, more commonly it is using as an aquarium fish. And the spectacular look makes this fish more costly than other aquarium fishes. Lionfish is coming under the family Scorpaenidae and the subfamily pteroinae. Lionfish are mostly seen in Indo- pacific region. Lionfish are not aggressive, but the spontaneous reflex action makes this fish a perfect hunter. It usually hunts its prey in the daytime.
Even though its population is stable, lionfish causing major problems in the ecology such as decrease in a large number of its prey and problem to the food chain. So, countries using the best eradication strategy ‘eat it.' So the expanding population that may cause future damage can be controlled. Some countries are paying a high prize for the divers to catch and eradicate this lionfish. The Volitan lionfish ( Pterois volitan) can be used as a pet in your aquarium. But you’ll need to find a large aquarium to grow this fish.
You can buy this fish at the nearby local store. Even if you buy this fish don’t play with it frequently. As I already mentioned the spine strike is extremely painful. Proceed with caution when you mess with lionfish.
