Lionfish sexes.... -- 06/26/07 I have an empty
55... well kinda it's filled with water, few damsels, live rock,
and cycled... its just been sitting there for about three months now. I
am interested in lion fish...along with them breeding them... was
thinking about zebra dwarfs. Have bred clowns and seahorses, by no
means does this make me an expert... guess my point is just that I
don't like to just have fishes I like to have them thrive and breed
as well.. should have go into biology instead of sales kinda thing.
been looking and looking I cant find any info on sexing or breeding
these....I cant believe that no M biologist hasn't studied these,
there has got to be some info somewhere. any ideas on how to sex them?
<Not as far as I'm aware> and any ideas on encouraging
breeding... ps I will take the damsels out before add the lions. Breez

checkers... before sending. Bob Fenner>
Follow-up on : Lionfish sexes.... -- 06/26/07 Bob,
I read the question posted below and remembered something I had read. I
chased it down and chopped out the relevant bit. This is a truly
excellent article on Lionfish:
http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2002-11/fm/feature/index.php A
relevant excerpt: "Adult male Dwarf fuzzy lions are readily
identified by having a larger head, longer pectoral fins (the fin tips
reach past the caudal peduncle), and have between 6 to 10 bands (or
stripes) on their pectoral fins. Female Dwarf fuzzy lionfish have only
4 to 6 stripes." Enjoy, Dan
<Great! Thank you Dan! Bob Fenner>
