my pair is very personable. They have great little personalities once they get comfortable in their home. Mine come out often, and eat right out of the turkey baster! Their faces give them a lot of personality as well
The dorsal fin is venemous, although I have never been stung and have handled mine by accident once (he was hiding on the powerhead when I took it out to clean it and I didnt see him till he almost plopped on the carpet). I have read that it feels similar to a bee sting.
edit: Is there a way to tell determine their gender?
there is currently a pair of these little guys in DD on liveaquaria right now! they are so cute

Where in the world did you obtain them?Very different.
they are in the scorpion fish family so somewhat closely related to anglers.
FWIW, they're definitely scorps, but are not closely related to anglers, because anglers and scorps are not closely related.
They're great little fish, altho many specimens can be rather cryptic. That's great that your fish will feed from the water column.
