Gasterosteus volitans
 
The Lion-Volitans have a colour that varies according to the age of the fish. It may show vertical black, brown, red and white stripes along the entire body length. Its impressive pectoral fins form a fan full of spines. It is a great addition to a fish only tank. Its dorsal, anal, and pelvic spines are venonous and are used to defend itself. In an aquarium, he likes several places to hide and should be fed with frozen fish and small crustaceans.
