[edit] err.. i think someone should fix this
This article says "While they are available for home aquaria, the venom of the spines is extremely painful, and lionfish are only recommended for the careful aquarist. They are a very hardy and disease resistant fish, making them a good choice for beginner aquarists." i think this should be changed.
"careful" and "beginner" are not necessarily mutually exclusive. You do make a good point, however; this should probably be clarified. A fish that will clean the tank should be big enough that the lionfish can't swallow it. Two hardy fish that will cleanup excess hair algae that probably won't fit are the yellow tang and the foxface. between the two the foxface is the heatier.
[edit] Does this belong in the article?
"They are QUITE tasty. Lemon helps. Asparagus is an excellent accompanyment. Go with a Aussie white wine, and lingonberry mousse from IKEA for dessert."
I doubt it's worth putting in the article. Can anyone justify its existence? Crimson Shadow 21:49, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is not a forum for advice and how-tos, however, a few notes about the culinary uses, in an encyclopedic tone, would be useful. --Eyrian 07:39, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
I don't think lionfish has anything to do with fugu as stated in the article. The venom is in the spines. I know many people who have eaten lionfish and declared it very good. I think it is appropriate to mention that lionfish are good and safe to eat. Ryanneve 13:11, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] merge with scorpionfish
Hey, there are separate entries for "Lionfish" and "Scorpionfish", neither of which refers to the other. Should these be consolidated? I'm under the impression that they're kind of the same general thing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.115.196.46 (talk) 06:14, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
