Oh goodness, that's scary! Thankfully, the likelihood of getting stung by him accidentally is incredibly low... Stonefish don't present their spines like lions do, I've seen people pick them up and move them around completely safely. They're very dedicated to their rocky craft haha.
How big will he get?? And what else is with him? Stonefish are so awesome!
Max size for stonefish is about 10"-1.2', he'll likely reach around 8-9 since he's a captive animal. He's currently alone, and though he would technically be fine to house with my frogfish, I like the idea of having him in a species-only tank. I'll get him little flocks of mollies from time to time for enrichment.
I'll send a picture in the morning! I'll be feeding him later next afternoon, so I intend to try and get a video of it.
That would be way cool
Not anymore :grinning-squinting-face:
At the moment he's alone. I considered moving him in with my frogfish, but I really don't want to take any risks of accidental envenomation/consumption. I plan to get little flocks of mollies every so often for him to pick off for enrichment.
In love frog fish but dang are they stupid!!! Eat everything regardless of size and venom!
