Lionfish

[gourami fan]

I am doing a research project on the lionfish or Pterois volitans I need to know about its movement. reproduction, lifespan and weight.

I don't know much about them, but I decided not to get one in my tank cuz they can get up to 15" long (and 18" wide spinetip to spine tip supposedly).

Here's a little info sheet I found a while back and bookmarked. The Volitans are about halfway down. http/reefkeeping.com/issues/2002-11/fm/feature/index.htm

has some basic information on niche etc. no idea how accurate as it was found on google.

hey gourami fan..
you are doing a research project on lionfish? Cool.. very cool. I presume it's a science project for school.. (DUH.. what else could it be for?)
Anyway, i don't really have an answer for your question.. but what i wanted to know was how did you go about doing your science project? What is your thesis question? And what is your hypothesis??
