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.

Lionfish eggs grow on stalks, so each egg has somewhat of an umbilical cord. There is a complex courtship as each female releases two egg masses.
