black and red leaf fish

[nateqt]

picked up this guy today, about 3-4" long, supposedly eating mysis already but havent tried yet

cant really tell much from the pictures but he has white speckles and red blotches all over him

sorry for the bad pictures

That guy is awesome! Really eating mysis though?! These guys are notoriously hard to wean from live. If it does eat mysis you scored big time.

Great connections with the wholesalers, LFS, and a lot of patience and perseverance are what it takes to play the scorp game. Sometimes just FINDING a fish is exciting.

I know what you mean, I always ask my fish guy if he has any cool scorps and pics of them regardless of if I want it or not, its still cool just to find it

One of my LFS knows me as the "weird and odd ball guy" or just the "lionfish" guy. But they don't get anything nearly as cool as some of the stuff you guys get.

My LFS has this guy that I thought was really cool. I just dont have the right kind of tank for him or I would have picked him up.
