Cracker hit the nail on the head and I quote "Imagine what could happen to an inquisitive child or uninformed grown up kid as well!" I will add onto that , uninformed
person, period, no if's ands or buts. That would really frighten me out of having one. Furthermore you just don't know what might spook them while you are in close proximity to them and WHAM, Gotcha'
I guess another thing would be...Homeowners insurance will not allow a Lionfish and if you find one that will, then the rates are doubled, maybe even tripled...(make sure she doesn't get out the HO policy to look for that clause)

and not only that...hey she has a blue tang on it's way...when I can catch the stupid thing...guess it isn't so stupid, is it?
