~ Sin ~ Mega Fish Posts: 1252 Votes: 28 Registered: 24-Mar-2003	Anyone know anything about these guys, or where I could possibly find out about them? I'm considering them for my 5' & so far have been able to find very little info on care etc... Anything you've got is greatly appreciated. Thanx

The most common Toadfish is the 'Freshwater' Lionfish, Halophryne trispinosus AKA Batrachomoeus trispinosus. A better name would be three-spined toadfish, but few would recognized that name. -------------------------------------------- The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian.

We heard that some are bringing it into brackish conditions, and that doesnt sound too far fetched (common in esturies and the like) and some stores around here appear to be selling a variant as a FW puffer (there are NO FW PUFFERS on the legan import list and as far as i know, very few being bred if at all, so its not hard to ID them) So yes, we were thinking of going fishing....
