Try not to put your hands too close to it, even though it is not an aggressive fish it's better to be careful. They are coral safe, but they're not safe around anything that can fit into its mouth such as small fishes and invertebrates. They generally do not sting things on purpose, the spines are for defense only. The sting is not lethal unless you are allergic to the venom. If you are stung, submerge your hand in water as hot as you can stand, this will help break down the venom. Hope to help

good advice on the hot water bro shengyuan. the hot water will help to denature the protein based poisons, hopefully making it less painful. when handling, try not to use any nets to avoid their spines getting caught in them and damaging. use a palstic seive net if possible. and take care!

For fish it's usually okay to just pour straight into the tank.. Did you check the body after that for anything out of the ordinary?

[tagie_tag]

mouth just open big and those fin open quite wide. body up size down.

hope it help de reason to his death.

Did you do any testing on your water parameter ? Lion fish is quite a hardy fish, i suspect maybe is a N02 spike that causes it's death ?.. Better to cycle your tank again or longer before adding new fish again.

[ReDDeviLs]

try from other source..

sometimes its the fish not u.

also,please do not pour the lfs water to your tank as they may carry diseases or even copper.

even those with coral tank from lfs are not advised to pour in too.

If you're looking for good quality lions you can head down to ML. There are usually very nice specimens there and Henry trains them to eat frozen food.
