Thanks man. Yeah he is pretty cool to watch. And even nicer to watch him inhale foods. I havent even thought about a video. Lol I'll have to take one next time I feed. Link to comment

ApiratenamedJohn Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 Love the tank. I wanna get a scorpion fish but I heard there hard to take care of super simple. live ghost shrimp every few days and consistent water changes to take out his monster SH&^& lol other then that i dont do much for him.

Evanski9 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Hmmm man I want one. Idk where I would get live ghost shrimp Link to comment
ApiratenamedJohn Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 Hmmm man I want one. Idk where I would get live ghost shrimp usually the fish stores in my area have them. but when they dont a damsel or peppermint shrimp works too. lol Link to comment
Evanski9 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I'm so getting one! What size tank you think would be perfect for one? Link to comment
ApiratenamedJohn Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 I'm so getting one! What size tank you think would be perfect for one? i have mine in the bc 14. most people say too much bioload bla bla blablabla bla but he has been in there for half the life of the tank with no problems (4 months). its only too much if youre lazy with your tank. i have macro algeas and a refugium in chamber two to help with that to though.i also run carbon and chemipure elite in chamber two. i also do about 30% water change every week making sure to vacuum all his giant poops off the sand bed. but he will probably be moved over to my bc29 once it cycles so he can get some friends. he is a pretty lazy fish though. he likes to find a spot with good flow and just sway back and forth like he is fooling us. so as long as you keep the water clean i wouldnt think a giant footprint would be necessary.

Evanski9 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Hmm I kinda want to set up a 24 for one. Do they need alot of rock? I think I'll do alot of macros. It would be kinda cool huh? Hmm here comes another tank! Link to comment

It would be kinda cool huh? Hmm here comes another tank! I set up that little cave for him but he rarely ever goes in there. So I doubt it. But more rock would help with the biological filtration I would think. He would just climb it anyway lol Terrance spends a lot of time perched and swaying looking for his next victims.

Evanski9 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I'm setting up one. I'm ping to go bug sand as lr today and get this going Link to comment
ApiratenamedJohn Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 I'm setting up one. I'm ping to go bug sand as lr today and get this going I'm interested to see where you go with this. It will be nice to see another member with these nice fish. They come in so many colors too. Yellow, black, dark red, and pink. I want another in a different color for Terrance to have a friend lol Link to comment
Evanski9 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 It's going to be hard to find the fish for me. I'll call around and just have one ordered. Scorpionfish is different then a angler right Link to comment
ApiratenamedJohn Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 They are a different fish but alot of the same behavior amd requirements. This one just has poison barbs. But when I work in my tank he avoids my hand rather then attacking it. Link to comment
