Hello! Im looking to buy a black volitan lionfish, but Im being picky! I want a really dark one, like the google screenshot below. The darker the better.

I used to work in a fish store many a yr ago & they were hard to find even then.

That may be true but its my dream fish so Im willing to wait till I find the perfect one. :)
 
Bump!

Also willing to lower standards slightly for a any really nice black volitan. It doesnt have to be as dark as the picture above. Here are some other examples of what Im looking for.

I know I'm late responding to this post. The 1st pic you posted is of an angry defensive lion, that coloring is not not what you will normally see. A black volitan is really more of a dark brown with black markings and highlights. Here's mine I've had for years and he is over 12". The last pic you posted is closer to reality, and they will get more brown the larger they get.
