Dendrochirus Zebra is often referred to as Zebra Lionfish or Dwarf Lionfish. It features white, red as well as black horizontal stripes across the body, large pectoral fins that look like fans, and long dorsal fins that resemble quills. A 50-gallon or bigger aquarium with a lot of hiding places is ideal. It will hide as it adjusts to its new surroundings. The spines at the top are poisonous which can trigger reactions similar to bee stings. To soothe itching, wash the area with the hot tub (100-110o F). When the fish is first introduced to the aquarium the live saltwater feeder shrimp are utilized to lure the fish to take a bite. It is believed that the Dwarf Lionfish diet consists of fleshy food items like Live shrimp (including ornamental shrimp) as well as live fish and occasionally crustacean flesh. Approximate Size of Purchase: Small: 1" to 1-1/2"; Medium: 1-1/2" to 2-1/2"; Large: 2-1/2" to 4"; XLarge: 4" and Larger

Helpful Questions From Clients
Frequently Asked Questions
Is hiring a professional necessary to set up a saltwater aquarium?

As a general rule, a larger custom aquarium might require installation by a professional. However, a kit from our online fish store is relatively affordable and beginner friendly. That means you should have no problem setting it up yourself.

Which saltwater aquarium fish should you choose when starting out?

Consider a yellow tang fish. This popular saltwater aquarium fish does a great job of coexisting with other types of fish you’ll find in our online fish store.

How does a saltwater aquarium differ from a freshwater one?

Saltwater aquariums require a bit more maintenance and monitoring than freshwater tanks. Different fish require different levels of salinity, pH tolerances, and temperature requirements. They also require specialized pumps, filters, and other equipment that can handle salt. We can guide you through everything you need to know to set up a healthy, thriving reef tank.

Do fish in a saltwater aquarium swim in a school?

That depends on the species. However, if it’s a fish that swims in a school in the wild, they’ll do the same in an aquarium. Some fish that swim in schools include the green and blue chromis, cardinalfish, and dartfish, for example. When ordering from an online fish store, make sure you do your research on how specific fish species behave to ensure they’ll school (or at least coexist) with your current fish.

Is the effort required to maintain a saltwater aquarium worth it?

Yes! Many aquarists dream of owning thriving saltwater aquariums. You have a tiny piece of the ocean in your home, featuring magical and exotic fish that can only survive in saltwater.
