Finally got some decent pics of my new volitans lionfish, Pinhead II.
Please excuse the algae on the back glass. This is the only tank I have that has problems with algae....mainly I suppose because I tend to overfeed this tank and also because Bubba, the picasso trigger, will not allow much in the way of clean up crew.
Important Disclaimer: normally I advocate NOT mixing lionfish and triggers together. It is very common for the trigger to decide the lionfish is nothing more than a chew toy which the lion often fails to survive. I have had my picasso trigger (Bubba) for almost a year now and feel I can judge his personality. Although he is extremely invertebrate aggressive, towards fish he shows no aggression at all. Also, I am able to observe them during daylight hours and I have a divider sitting next to the tank in case of trouble. There is also an empty 40g if this doesn't work out.
Now, on to the pics!
The first pic, the gang has to be in there too! Then it's swimming off to hide upsidedown in the cave!
