Hopefully the fish will still be there when my tank is done cycling. On a separate note, have you ever tried feeding scuds (gammarus) to any of your fish? I have long been researching breeding ghost shrimp but it seems too time consuming, from what I understand scuds are much easier to breed. Just wondering if they would be a suitable live food item. I would only consider the freshwater species.

I have also never used copper on any of my fish. It's a poison and you just hope the fish outlasts the parasite. If I have to treat, I use CP.
I wouldn't get an eel with an open top tank.
Rhinos are cool, scorps are cool. Ever consider an angler?
My fuzzy and angler have a weird relationship. They spend all day lounging next to each other.

I’ve decided against an eel, but I still ordered a glass lid today. I’ve had fish that aren’t known “jumpers” jump before so I just like to be careful. Anglers look cool, I don’t know much about them but I really like scorps and rhinos. How does caring for an angler compare to scorps?
Lionfish jump, and so do scorps, I don't think the rhino would because they are sort of clunky.
I've kept anglers in the past, they are on my list of fish I would never keep again. Their personality really doesn't measure up to a scorp. Caring for an angler is similar as with any of the ambush preds. They can and will eat anything as large as themselves, I've seen a painted angler eat a fuzzy lionfish.
As far as scuds go, they may be good for an additional food, even a snack. One of my lions would likely put down 30-40 of those a week. If you do culture scuds, remember, you are what you eat. You may have seen some of my post regarding feeding and enhancing your feeders.

Maybe I’ll give the scuds a try, I have a brand new 20g laying around collecting dust. I think I’ve read through all your posts by now, I’ll definitely refer back to that one if I end up culturing scuds.
