Antennata Lionfish

[cal559]

Why does every site i look at say that this lionfish can be put in a min. 30-40 gallon tank is this true?
JUST TO LIST A COUPLE SITES:

To me i would say 30 gallons is too small. JMO

Alot of online care sheets just rip stats off of other sites. Which is why a lot of them have similar information, even if it's wrong.

There's a fairly decent article on Lionfish (although I would keep a full grown lion in something bigger than a 85 gallon), and it rates radiatas at a 65 gallon size.
