I have decided to keep a lionfish in my 29 agreesive tank.  What type do you think will work the best yet still look cool?  I don't really like the dwarf lions but like the antennata and the radiatas.  And have you seen anything that may work around?  Just want some opinions on some cool ones.

I just got a spotfin lionfish. A friend gave him to me. He's about 5 inches long and is a beautiful fish, however when they say it will eat anything smaller then it, it's very true. I was going to leave my gobies in there but he immediately started hunting them so I moved them to my other tank. However he did get the peppermint shrimp! I'ld like to get an eel next.

Thats all I have in there at the moment.  Just a little snowflake and a bunch of giant hermits.  It started out as an agressive and has slowly turned into a hermit crab tank.  So I need to get back on track and find a cool lion.  That is one of the ones that I like.  I might have to keep an eye out.  I checked out a really cool one curtis turned me onto called the blackfoot but from what I read they are very hard to keep.

Volitans are always cool. My favorite lion would have to be the Fu Manchu they are awesome!

I thought he was a spotfin because of the spots on his pectoral fins. If he is a Volitans, I'm gonna need a bigger tank!

I owned a fu manchu as well. They are awesome! Not quite as cool looking as the blackfoot, but they are still unique for dwarf lions.
