CoralCrazy Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 So I have a beautiful volitan lionfish. It's about 12 inches long and his fin span is as wide. He is my prize fish that I own. But there is some nights when I want to cook him. (flame)His favorite thing to do is spit water out of the tank. Not a little water but enough to cover the front of my 150 and make a puddle on my stand. So I'm wondering if anyone else has had this same experience with a lion or if mine is just a 2 year old throwing a eternal fit. Oh yea and on a side note about my pissy fish. I was adding rock and cleaning the tank tonight when he decided it was going to be the night I felt his sting.(scary) Thank goodness he misjudged and hit the scraper I had in my hands instead. He tagged it so hard with his spines it almost fell out of my hand. Normally he is very passive but I think he's starting to get old and cranky.

Derbird Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Wow that was too close. I'm glad you had the scraper in your hand (scary) Could you put up some kind of splash gard around the 150? It would look getto fabulous but might work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoralCrazy Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 He can shoot water about a foot. If I'm sitting in my chair watching tv he can soak me. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gill Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 My dad used to have a French Angle (among others) back in the 70s. I've always heard stories about "frenchie" spitting water. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoralCrazy Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 Figured a few would get a good laugh out of my lovely fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talkalot82 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I think its funny.. We had lion fish when I was younger. when dad cleaned the tank our job was to keep the lion on the other side of the tank with the net.. but I got stung once.. I got sick a bit and got some shakes. But that was it.. just hurt like a really huge bee sting.... Darn cloudy water.. I really want a manfu lion... I think they dance beautifully.. I hope I spelled it correct.... My hubby says nothing that bites or stings... party pooper.. I told him we should get rid of his maroon clowns they bite... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bswe22 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 That is too funny! Have you ever been soaked? You should post a video!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoralCrazy Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 I've been watching tv and all of a sudden it's like I got out of the shower. He's quite a character. Always thought it was the eels in my tank I would have to watch out for but I guess the lion has decided he likes to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
