I got an email alert from LiveAquaria that they received some radiata lionfish in stock, but they are small (1.5-3").
My marine beta is out of the QT and in DT now so I'm starting to look into getting the lionfish. Thing is... with one that small 1.5"-2", I'm not sure if its better out to wait out for some medium sized ones(3"-5").
Are the chances of survival different with different size lions after arrival and medication, either a radiata or antenata (the medium bodied ones). Also, does size make a difference on converting to frozen food. I plan on doing a mixed live/dead feeding, but going full live only gets to be rather expensive. And lastly, do people tend to have a long life expectancy rate with the medium sized lion. The seem to be the less popular of all the types but never understood why.
** I do not have a tank to support a large one long term and not a fan of the dwarf.**
