lionfish of this species , dendrochirus , are allowed to be shipped into the state of florida . only species of the genus pterois are banned .
i have been fortunate enough to keep all the species of lionfish available in the trade . of these , my favorite is still the twinspot lionfish , dendrochirus biocellatus . this member of the subfamily is a unique species that is less frequently seen in aquarium stores than many of its kin .
this species is not uncommon throughout its range , but is rarely observed ( h . motomura pers . comm . 2015 ) . little is known regarding its population status . there are 109 museum records of dendrochirus biocellatus ( accessed through the fishnet2 portal , urltoken , 2015 - 04 ) .

there are no species specific conservation efforts in place . the distribution of d . biocellatus may overlap with some marine protected areas ( iucn and unep 2014 ) .
dendrochirus biocellatus is a reef associated species commonly found at depths of 1 to 40 m ( lieske and myers 1994 ) . it reaches a maximum standard length of 12 cm ( poss 1999 ) . this species is very secretive , and has been found in clear waters with a high concentration of corals . it spends its days hiding in caves and sponges , and only comes out at night to feed ( kuiter and tonozuka 2001 ) .
lionfishes are members of the family scorpaenidae ( scorpionfishes ) and the subfamily pteroinae . there are six genera in this subfamily and approximately 22 species . the two genera that you most often see in the aquarium trade belong to the genera dendrochirus and pterois . members of these two genera are easily separated by the form of their pectoral fins . in dendrochirus spp . the pectoral fin rays do not reach the base of the caudal fin , they are branched and are connected by a membrane over much of their length .

justification : dendrochirus biocellatus is widespread in the indo - west pacific and not uncommon . little is known regarding its population status , and it is rarely observed in nature . although it is associated with coral reefs , which have been declining in geographic area and quality in parts of its range , it is unknown how this might be impacting the population globally . given this species ' wide distribution , it is listed as least concern ; however , additional research on its population trend is necessary .
dendrochirus biocellatus has a broad distribution in the indo - west pacific ( poss 1999 ) . this species ranges from the western mascaranes , maldives and sri lanka , east to the mariana and tuamotu islands , north to southern japan , south to the timor sea reefs off northwestern australia , new caledonia , and tonga ( allen and erdmann 2012 ) . it is found in shallow waters less than 40 m deep ( allen and erdmann 2012 , h . motomura pers . comm . 2015 ) .
despite being quite diminutive as lionfish go , d . biocellatus still possesses venomous dorsal spines that can deliver a severe sting to unwary aquarists . so , don’t assume you can let down your guard when transferring these little lions or working in a tank containing one .

the twinspot lionfish is considered to be the most difficult member of the subfamily to maintain . this is due to the fact that they can be reluctant to eat anything but live food . the best diet you can provide for d . biocellatus are ghost shrimp . you should gut pack these ( feed them a nutritious flake or frozen food ) before you feed them to you twinspot lionfish . i have yet to have an individual that would not eat these crustaceans . however , i have not had much success getting d . biocellatus to accept nonliving foods , including bits of food on the end of a feeding stick . so before you purchase a d . biocellatus , make sure you have access to ghost shrimp . juvenile twinspot lionfish will also eat live brine shrimp . you should feed your twinspot lionfish several of these shrimp every other day .
d . biocellatus can be considered reef safe , as it will not nip at or consume sessile invertebrates . however , keep in mind that ornamental crustaceans will not be safe , and specimens may come to rest upon corals , potentially irritating them and causing them to remain in a contracted state .
in terms of its ease of care , i would characterize d . biocellatus species as moderately difficult . so , it’s not a great choice for beginners , but if you have a few years of successful fishkeeping experience under your belt and are willing to give it the specialized care it requires , you won’t be disappointed !
dorsal spines ( total ) : 13 ; dorsal soft rays ( total ) : 9 ; anal spines : 3 ; anal soft rays : 5 . eye - like spots in the soft dorsal fin and feeler - like tentacles in front of the mouth ( ref . 48635 ) . mid - dorsal spines shorter than body depth . the only species of dendrochirus with a pair of distinct ocelli on the soft - rayed dorsal fin ( ref . 37816 ) .
dendrochirus biocellatus is thought to feed mostly on crustaceans , although food habit data is lacking for this species . it exhibits an unusual behavior when it feeds . it will snap its dorsal spines and shake its head from side - to - side as it approaches its prey . this behavior may serve to distract , or possibly attract , the prey item . thaler ( 2004 ) has suggested that the fleshy barbels that extend from the upper jaw may act to attract fish into striking distance . it often stalks its quarry by slinking along the bottom or around reef structure like a cat , and moves forward , either by
hopping
on its pelvic fins or by undulating its caudal fin . when it is about one - half a body length away from its prey , it lunges forward with amazing speed to ingest it .
feeding a twinspot lionfish in an aquarium that contains other aggressive feeders can be a problem . therefore , potential competitors , like groupers , soapfishes , snappers and triggerfishes do not make good d . biocellatus tankmates . this lionfish may have difficulty getting anything to eat with these more aggressive gluttons . you may have to present ghost shrimp to the twinspot lionfish in a fine meshed fish net . place the shrimp in the net and move it slowly toward the area where the lionfish is hiding . with time , this lionfish can usually be trained to swim to the net opening and snap up the shrimp inside . this method is also effective for feeding this fish in a reef aquarium . large angelfishes , triggerfishes , pufferfishes and porcupinefishes can also cause problems when kept with d . biocellatus . they have been known to nip the fins of this fish .
d . biocellatus reaches only about 5 inches in total length and is mottled with various shades of orange , brown , black , and white . its pectoral fins are large and fan - like , and it sports two prominent ocelli , or eyespots , on the posterior of the dorsal fin . this species’ other notable feature are the two elongated appendages extending from the corners of the mouth , somewhat resembling a long , droopy moustache—thus the “fu manchu” appellation .
this is where the “potentially picky” part comes in . one of the chief frustrations among hobbyists who keep this species is that it can be very difficult to get it to accept standard aquarium fare . in nature , d . biocellatus feeds primarily on small fish and crustaceans , and in many instances , captive specimens resist making the switch to non - living fare for prolonged periods . in these situations , items such as live ghost shrimp may be necessary to initiate a feeding response . some specimens simply refuse to eat altogether , so it’s important to see a potential purchase fed before you acquire it .
like all the lionfishes , d . biocellatus is suitable for a reef tank if you are not interested in keeping shrimp and smaller fishes , especially benthic species like gobies and blennies . this lionfish is less of threat to more active fish species than its relatives due to its slightly smaller mouth and unique hunting behavior . do not expect to see your twinspot lionfish much if your aquarium is replete with live rock . smaller specimens tend to be more secretive than adults are and some larger individuals will come out into the open as they become more accustomed to aquarium life . the best way to view these fish in a reef aquarium is to place a red fluorescent or incandescent bulb over the tank at night .
you have to strike a delicate balance in choosing tankmates for d . biocellatus . on the one hand , you have to be careful to avoid aggressive predators and species prone to nipping fins / appendages , as either type of tankmate will stress the lion , outcompete it at feeding time , and likely keep it in hiding . on the other hand , you have to avoid introducing any fish small enough to be perceived as potential prey by this stealthy hunter . also , conspecifics will often squabble , so it’s best to keep this species one to a tank . apart from those considerations , any peaceful , keep - to - themselves species that are at least as large as the lion should be acceptable as tankmates .

have long been a fan of lionfishes . in fact , these fishes were partially responsible for baptism into the marine aquarium hobby over 30 years ago . i have been fortunate enough to keep all the species available in the trade . of these , my favorite is still
. this member of the subfamily , which is referred to commonly as the twinspot , ocellated or fu manchu lionfish , is a unique species that is less frequently seen in aquarium stores than many of its kin . the two barbels on the upper jaw and pair of ocelli on the soft dorsal fin set
apart from all of its relatives . in this article , i would like to share some of my musings , and the observations of others , on this unusual scorpaenid .
a twinspot lionfish ( a . k . a . fu manchu lionfish ) showing the characteristic moustache .
the two ocelli on each side of the dorsal fin can change color depending on the lionfish ' s mood or social status .
a twinspot lionfish off batangas , philippines hanging upside down under a patch reef overhang . this is the darker color form .
a beautiful twinspot lionfish in the field . this is a reclusive species that is rarely seen in the open during the day .
the twinspot lionfish is known from mauritius to the society islands , north to japan and south to australia . it has been reported at depths of 1 to 40 m ( 3 . 3 to 132 ft . ) in lagoons , on coastal fringing reefs and on patch reefs . it is also found on outer reef faces and slopes . it tends to prefer microhabitats with rich stony and / or soft coral growth . it is a secretive species that spends the daytime hours hanging upside down in deeper crevices and caves . a diver might occasionally catch a glimpse of one of these fish moving from one crevice to another during the day . however , it is most readily observed during night dives , at which time it comes out to hunt .
the ocelli on the soft portion of the dorsal fin may serve a communicative function . they can change from black to a faded gray . this color change often occurs during aggressive interactions and courtship . in agonistic interactions the ocelli will typically fade in the dominant individual , while during courtship the spots fade in males . thaler ( 2004 ) reports that the ocelli can take on a turquoise color and that the eyespot adopts this color when the fish is excited ( whether by food , a mate or a competitor ) .
this lionfish will do better in a smaller tank where they are kept on their own than in a larger community tank where feeding them can be difficult . adult twinspot lionfish can be kept in tanks as small as 20 gallons . it is imperative to provide this secretive fish with caves , crevices and overhangs in order for it to properly acclimate . i have had even had specimens hang upside down under the heads of large leather corals .
adult twinspot lionfish will eat smaller members of their own species and larger specimens ( presumably males ) will behave aggressively toward conspecifics . when displaying the fan - like pectoral fins are extended forward , the dorsal spines are erected and the body quivers . smaller individuals will usually flee when a larger individual display , but threats may escalate into fighting if both fish are similar in size and one specimen does not back down . in this case biting and dorsal fin jabbing may occur , which can result in torn fins , scale loss , damaged eyes and even death if the fish are not separated . if you keep more than one twinspot lionfish in a larger aquarium ( e . g . , 70 gallons or more ) they will usually avoid each other , but in smaller aquaria dominant specimens often stalk and injure subordinate conspecifics .
all the lionfishes are venomous . an injection of venom from the fin spines can cause intense pain and swelling . for this reason , it is important to be very careful when ever you place your hands in your aquarium . make sure you know where your lionfish is before moving aquarium decor or equipment . if you are stung by your twinspot lionfish , immediately immerse the wound in hot , nonscalding water ( from 43 . 3 to 45 ºc , or 110 to 113 ºf , for 30 or 40 minutes or until pain has diminished ) or heat it with a hair dryer . the heat will denature the protein that constitutes the venom and prevent it from spreading through your body .
although the twinspot lionfish is more demanding than some of its relatives , this fish can make a fascinating addition to the species tank or reef aquarium . happy fish - watching !

that are small and retiring enough to be kept successfully in fairly modest - sized quarters . among these is the subject of today’s post :
, the fu manchu lionfish , also known as the twinspot lionfish , ocellated lionfish , or twospot turkeyfish .
with patience and persistence , though , it’s often possible to train these little lions to accept non - living meaty items , such as shrimp , silversides , clam meat , and the like . the best way to achieve this is to present the item on a feeding stick or section of rigid airline tubing and give it a little jiggle so it appears lifelike .
because this species is small , very shy , secretive , and typically found resting on or hopping / scooting / fluttering around the rockwork , it doesn’t demand much in the way of open swimming space . it does , however , need lots of caves and hidey holes in which to refuge , so the aquarium should be large enough to allow appropriate aquascaping . i would consider 30 gallons a good minimum tank size .
