Sebastapistes cyanostigma

[Anonymous]

Okay, I have a new favorite "this is a great nano reef fish!" fish. The pink and yellow dwarf scorpionfish, Sebastapistes cyanostigma. This little baby glows, and he's full grown! I doubt he'll take to frozen mysis, but we'll see. Right now he's eating live gut packed ghost shrimp.

I'm writing something on it!

One of my favorite scorpion. easy to feed and not shy at all. Mine one even get to eat the pellet!

Such a cool looking fish!

A little off subject: But Matt, is it possible to get glass shrimp to breed? And how long do they usually live? (If I were to buy the 50-100 packs of these online, what would I do to stretch out the supply?)

I don't suppose it would be hard, but to tell you the truth I've never bothered finding out. They're so cheap.

Not pricey, but rare in the trade for whatever reason.

Who? Animal Planet?

Uh, haven't seen it. :? Same fish, different colors? Can you snag a pic?

 

[Anonymous]

It doesn't look like this does it?

 

[Anonymous]

Same fish, just a lot of white, some yellow and some red on it. I don't make it there much, but I can have a certain person alert me to when when does arrive

Neat fish, I saw one a month or so back at the LFS. I currently have a small 25 gallon FOWLR (well some xenia too) with a brazilian scorpion (Scorpaena brasiliensis) and a red leaf fish (Taenianotus triacanthus).

And I disagree on them being 'ugly' they are really quite a neat looking fish when you see them up close. The mimicry behavior on the leaffish is something to see too.
