The lionfish arrived healthy and active. It has adapted well to the 55-gallon tank with proper water parameters. Feeding it shrimp is simple and it eats regularly. The fish is active but not overly aggressive, which is good for a community setup.

It’s a striking fish with unique appearance. I’ve maintained stable pH and temperature as recommended. It’s not the most social fish, but it fits well in a larger tank with compatible species.

Easy to care for once the water conditions are set. The fish stays calm and shows interest in shrimp. I appreciate the clear care details provided. It’s a great addition to a freshwater aquarium.
