New Scorp!

[AlexS95]

I've had this little guy for awhile now, but I haven't posted any pictures:

I also have two more arriving in the morning, so I'll post those when they get settled.

Three new guys!? No fair. Cool looking guy there though.

 

[silentcivilian]

Looks familiar.. is that a longfin?

 

[AlexS95]

Seeing the one in your thread made me realize I hadn't posted mine (P. rubripinnis). DD called it a Red Rooster Pygmy Wasp, but on Greg/Renee's website it's called Red fin Wasp. Take your pick of names, I guess.

red fin wasp and fortescue wasp are my two favorite fish I've owned, coolest personality out of the scorps I've kept

 

[jarrod13]

nice pick up alex!! I've never had a wasp, looking foward to it though!

lets see some more pix of this guy

 

[AlexS95]

Hes one of my favorites so far (but I think I say that about each new addition... ) The new ones are floating now.... :bigeyes:

I love redfins too...waspfish in general, I think they're some of the "sleeper" fish in the hobby in that they're really great fish, but you don't see them often.

Can't wait to see your new fish!

 

[AlexS95]

So here they are, you can kind of see the second one. I decided to try these little guys, even though I haven't found very much success on here with them. One of them looked really skinny, even though it said they were eating... We'll see how that works out.

I have the lights off now so that's the best picture your going to get for awhile. :wavehand:

I've always wondered what a "pygmy waspfish", specifically. Waspfish are ALL small fish.

Alex,

You'll want to try the Caracanthus on small ghosties at first. IME, it's hard to get them to eat guppies unless you can get them to swim right down to the fish. You may need to try and net train them if you can't get food to them.

Once the fish are eating, you should try the ol' "dead ghostie on a stealth stick" trick...IME, it's tuff for the fish to resist them.

Beautiful fish!

 

[StephLionfish]

Three beauties! Hopefully you'll have good luck with the last two.

 

[AlexS95]

I'll bring home some small Ghost shrimp tonight and maybe try to net feed with some frozen mysis mixed in. Who knows? It could work. :spin2:

 

[AlexS95]

The Red Fin and one of the Crouchers are eating PE Mysis, the other ate a small ghost shrimp. :celeb3:
And on an unrelated note, I got my Leaf fish to eat some mysis as well. :bounce2::bounce1::bounce3:

I went a little camera happy.

Cute litlle girl you have there Alex!

 

[AlexS95]

I really like the last picture I posted, it actually came out decent.

And on an unrelated note, according to Blue Zoo, another 'common name' for the Caracanthus is the 'Fuzzy Nut Goby'... That made my day. :lol2:

 

[namxas]

You're trying to make me spit coffee onto my monitor, aren't you?

 

[AlexS95]

Well I almost did the same thing yesterday. :lolspin:
