Abstract:
Reeftanks have attracted most of the attention of the SW hobbyists, yet many people keep Fish-Only tanks and think these tanks as "easier" or more "bulletproof". That these visually stunning fish are more tolerant of less maintenance and poor nutrition.
With that in mind, my talk will center around keeping a Fish-Only tank, variations of the mindset in keeping this type of tank, and basic required husbandry. As a theme I will focus on keeping members of the scorpionfish family. As these are very common
inhabitants of the home aquarium. I will discuss the scorpion family (especially Scorpionfish we frequently find int he hobby-Lionfish, stonefish, Leaf Fish, waspfish, seagoblins, Rhinopias, weird one-0ffs), discuss their captive care and husbandry, as well as focus on common husbandry problems with these fish and
finally look at their venomous attraction.
