	Freshwater Lionfish?
mccabe23 Hobbyist Posts: 55 Kudos: 55 Votes: 0 Registered: 30-Jul-2004	My LFS have these in stock and are called a freshwater lionfish. I can't find any info on these so they must go by another name. They look like common Plecos with spines sticking out all over their bodies. They are only active at night and seem to stay on the bottom from what I can tell. They look like toadfish which I read are brackish or salt water. Any info would be great!

Do a GOOGLE and see what you can come up with. Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do. I VOTE DO YOU if not WHY NOT?

It really is a Toadfish, though. -------------------------------------------- The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian.
