About the Cover
The red lionfish is recognizable by almost anyone, marine hobbyist or not, but dwarf lions are not nearly as eminent. Dwarf lionfish have all the grace and beauty of their larger cousins, but their smaller size makes them easier to keep in a reasonably sized home aquarium, and their smaller mouths allow them to be paired with a greater variety of tankmates. The species on our cover, the zebra turkeyfish (Dendrochirus zebra), is the most commonly seen dwarf lion and is sure to delight anyone who keeps it. Photograph by Sergey Skleznev/Shutterstock

Tip of the Month:
To protect valuable specimens, set up their tank with two heaters, each rated at half the required wattage. If one sticks on, the other will stay off, and the water will not overheat as much or as quickly.
