Got the lionfish today and I have to say that he seems to be a black volitans after all. When he stressed out after being bagged, his pattern came back and the fish looked like any "regular" black Volitans but all the fins remained ruby red. After he settled into the tank his colors became very...

Well here's the update. I went to the aquarium store today and both fish were in great shape. However, the Emperor had a slight discoloration in the forehead which the store owner told me could have been a scrape during shipping. He also told me that for a fish that big and relatively expensive...

The purple tang is about 2 inches long (maybe slightly bigger) and it is indeed territorial but his displays are mostly bluff so far. I am getting inclined for the Scribbled unless I see the Emperor eat and do good in the store. The price is hard to beat as well so it will be difficult to...

Thanks for sharing the picture. It seems like the Scribbled is indeed a very nice fish. The Emperor I am considering is gorgeous but I can see the possibility of him not acclimating well to captivity. The fish that are going to be tankmates of the angels are a panther grouper, a threadfin...

Thanks for the input so far. SInce the lionfish was a very recent arrival I will be waiting to see what he looks like on Thursday when I go pick him up. I hope he keeps those colors because they are bizarre. I will try and post a pic here (or at least a link to the pic) as soon as possible...

Hi there: I am posting this in hopes of getting varied opinions on which of these two angels to choose from for a 180 gallon tank. I have the option of buying either one at this time. The Emperor angelfish is almost 10 inches long and came from the Solomon Islands. The Scribbled Angel is smaller...

Hi there: I just purchased a very weird colored lionfish and I can hope that someone here might have seen any colored like this. It came in an Australian shipment as "lionfish" and not latin genus or species. Looks very similar to a Volitans lionfish but his colors are the weird part. He is...

Your lion is probably one of the best Black Volitans I have seen. However what I am looking for is a Blackfoot Lionfish (Parapterois heterurus) which I have no idea where it comes from or anything. The only pic I have seen is on the cover of the May issue of Aquarium Fish magazine. The Marine...

I would follow any leads that I can but could you tell me how to get in contact with Mr. Marini? Thanks.

The magazine cover is the May issue of Aquarium Fish in which they discuss the Scorpionfishes.

The only picture I saw of one was on the cover of a fish magazine. Of course, the cover picture was the only one of the fish and they did not even mention it again in the article (the article was about keeping venomous fishes in the tank). The fish is gourgeous but all my searches online have...

I have been looking for info, pictures and availability for this fish. No success so far. If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it. I have a 150 gallon setup just for 2 of these guys and maybe a Mombasa Lionfish with them. Thanks in advance, Ivan
