volitan lionfishLionfish and Scorpionfish are beautifully but potentially deadly, the members of this family are equipped with a painful venom. Their tank needs to be serviced with great care, because it is easy to catch your hand on one of the stinging spies.

Transferring fish between tanks also needs to be carried out with caution. Never be tempted to use your hands, so use a net that large enough to hold the whole fish and transfer, remove the fish by inverting the net carefully to let the fish swim out on its own.
