Is a lionfish a fish

Answer 1

Aside from instances of larger lionfish individuals engaging in cannibalism on smaller individuals, adult lionfish have few identified natural predators. This is likely due to the effectiveness of their venomous spines. Moray eels (family Muraenidae), bluespotted cornetfish (Fistularia commersonii) and large groupers, like the tiger grouper (Mycteroperca tigris) and Nassau grouper (Epinephelus striatus), have been observed preying on lionfish. It remains unknown, however, as to how commonly these predators prey on lionfish. Sharks are also believed to be capable of preying on lionfish with no ill-effects from its spines.

Answer 2

Lionfish is a marine fish while zebrafish is a Freshwater Fish so these two species normally do not come in contact due to their different habitats. Therefore lionfish do not eat zebrafish. Nevertheless, lionfish feeds on small fish which are of zebrafish size, so if zebrafish would be introduced into marine aquarium with lionfish, the lionfish would probably eat the zebrafish. If not, the zebrafish would die in saltwater. In opposite situation, lionfish probably would not have any appetite if introduced into a freshwater aquarium and soon will die.
