Black foots---huh, you mean bluefin lions (paraheratura), common names are great---aren't they
Blue fins are a cold water lionfish, that do VERY poorly in the home aquarium.
Very cool looking, but for whatever reason--just up and die even thou they feed well.
So my recommendation---skip em.
Next Fu man chus, love them, -- but they are the pickest lion to feed (they require lots of live food, preferable live ghost shrimp_, and are difficult at best to wean over to prepared foods. They are quite shy fish and spend most of the day hidden. Lastly, they walk instead of swim and don't really compete w/ faster swimmers for food.
Thats said, if you have a smaller tank and want a centerpiece fish that you plan on feeding live foods too-- their great.
As for photos.
Do a google search for "lionfish info sheet" your first hit will have all the photos of both species you asked for

If you click on the big blue FISH icon to the left of this page, scroll down to the lion fish section I believe they are BOTH there for viewing.

Ya I could see them here or google but I wanted to see if anyone had a non-glorified pics, cause obviously if they are trying to sell, they will take a picture of the best ones

I didnt use "glorified" as in photoshoped images on the lionfish info sheet, just photos from my aquarium. If you've looked it up-you've would have seen these fish you asked for

Im not trying t be a ----... I just mean that I would like to see some from peoples aquariums to see how they really look in normal settings. I never said anything about photoshop.
