No, there is generally no equilibrium in ecosystems where lionfish have invaded. As an invasive species, lionfish significantly disrupt local marine ecosystems by preying on native fish populations and competing for resources, leading to declines in biodiversity. Their rapid reproduction and lack of natural predators in these environments exacerbate the imbalance, resulting in altered food webs and degraded habitats. Consequently, the introduction of lionfish often leads to long-term ecological consequences.
Actually, a hippo is only pregnant for eight months.
A lionfish is a carnivore, meaning it primarily feeds on other animals. It preys on smaller fish and crustaceans by using its venomous spines to immobilize its prey before consuming them.
The lionfish belongs in the nekton group. Nekton are aquatic organisms that are able to swim and move independently of water currents, unlike plankton which are drifters, and benthos which dwell at the bottom of a body of water.
the aphotic zone.... but where in the aphotic zone???At depths of 3000 meters, where no sunlight can penetrate. It survives thanks to its bioluminiscent crest on its head and by its stomach that it can make three times bigger than itself.
The size of a lionfish is about 6.2 to 42.4 cm long.

Do you mean the saltwater Lionfish? In which case, which species? The most well known Volitans Lionfish gets up to 15". While the Fuzzy Dwarf Lionfish gets only 4". And there are many other species of Lionfish too. If you meant Lionhead Goldfish, then these fancy Goldfish get to around 5"-8" in body length, excluding tail, sometimes larger.
No. The lionfish has poisonous body and a lionfish is bigger.
Yes. A lionfish has poisonous spines and a poisonous body to protect itself. If a piranha and a lionfish met, the piranha will attack the lionfish, but the lionfish would sting it, and kill the piranha and eat it.
No. A lionfish is very poisonous, and a lionfish can poison it with its venom.
Most lionfish are about 10 inches long and weigh 5 pounds, while larger ones can be up to 4 feet in length.
Pterolis volitans is the Latin name of Lionfish. Lionfish is the common name.
An example of an lionfish are dwarf lionfish. Lionfish have poisonous fins that extend out from their bodies that are extremely potent and can be fatal to a person if not treated immediately.
To determine if a lionfish is pregnant, you can look for a swollen abdomen, which may indicate the presence of developing eggs. Additionally, a gravid female may display more vibrant colors or exhibit changes in behavior, such as increased nest-building activity. However, definitive confirmation usually requires observation of the spawning process or ultrasound imaging, as lionfish can also have large stomachs due to feeding. If in doubt, consulting a marine biologist or aquarist can provide more clarity.
Young lionfish, like all other fish, are called fry. There is no other name for the lionfish, young or old.
