Lionfishlair is an informative resource for everything scorpionfish

Rhinopias

Recently, I shared my experiences with the elusive Blue-Fin Lionfish, Parapterois heterura. Scorpionfish are definitely exciting fish to keep, but they shouldn’t be tried by an uninformed hobbyist. www.lionfishlair.com is a site dedicated to keeping this family of venomous fish. It is the brain child of Greg and Renee Hix, who have done a great job accumulating care info together in one place. They also have a nice forum and whether you are trying to breed Rhinopias or just want to learn more about little known devilfish or waspfish, if the Scorpaenidae family interests you, check out this site.

    Hi Mark,

    Thanks for the kind words! We need more folks to share their experiences with this awesome family of fishes, as there is precious little good up-to-date info out there. Your article on the bluefin lionfish has added another badly-needed data point to the mystery of maintaining that species at home. Congratulations on your success.
