The Fu man chu lionfish is pretty awesome

what do they look like, and I'm looking on like not really spendng my bank account (for now haaha) but i am interested in lion fish and all the aggressive fish.

Well, you are in luck! I just so happen to have an aggressive tank with, a maroon clown( the bad boy of the clown family), a Huma Huma aka Picasso trigger( the most entertaining of all fish) and what do you know!!!!!...... I even have a Fu Manchu lionfish! Lol that is so coincidental!



Huma

The fu Manchu reminds me of an ancient samurai warrior. To me he is the most colorful, and interesting of the lions.

And look into getting a Condy anemone, they are inexpensive, and easy to maintain.

Your fish look great!! And I like that one lion. And thank you so much I actualy like a lot of what you are saying I will have to price all of these out!!

 

[Monroe10]

About how much are those Condy anemone, I like the way those look?

 

[Elude82]

My LFS sells them for about $12-$15 depending on the type.

Ok that is kinda what I thought, I'm just getting depressed bc I can come home from college for like 2 weeks and my take is pretty much ready to put stuff into it aaaahhh I'm going nuts???

Anemones need high intensity so a light fixture that could support it might be $200-300. If you're getting a light like that, mind as well do a reef ! An established tank (6-8 months) is ideal for an anemone. Clownfish don't usually host condy anemones anyway.

I'm just still researching everything right now. And I do have a really good light.
