whats a good tank size for a scorpionfish?

[msu spartan]

im not sure on the species, and the one atthe lfs is lk 1 or 2 inches

 

[LisaD]

really, depends on the adult size. pics?

 

[msu spartan]

i dont have a pic but it looks just like an average scorpionfish, so i tihknk it will either end up reaching, 4 or 14 inches, i cant tell

My scorpion [ maybe 3-4" ] has seemed happy in his 20 for about a year and half now.

 

[msu spartan]

what do you feed it, and does it move alot, ?

 

[techigirl78]

No, doesn't move too much. That is why I think the 20 gal works well. It is an ambon scorpionfish.

It gets mainly gut loaded ghost shrimp. Occassionally it has taken frozen krill, squid, and shrimp, but not consistently.

 

[msu spartan]

have u ever put a damsel in there, and if so, did the SF eat it?

 

[FMarini]

If its an ambon it shouldl be over $100.00 US. If its a "typical scorpionfish" similar to a S. brasilensis, then it will be about under 50.00

the ones at the lfs are tiny and are $25
