The Scorps

[lion king]

This is a fun bunch:
Rhino(rhinopias frondosa)
Hawaiian leaf fish
Barbfish(scorpaena brasiliensis)

Do you pretreat them before the tank or do you soak food in meds?

 

[lion king]

They eat live food; the rhino mostly mollies and occasionally will snag a ghostie, the leaf and barbfish eating ghosties and guppies.

As far as using meds, I just did an observation and got lucky. I've haven't found these type of scorps even to handle gc or prazi. Ones that were able to withstand full treatment, did die within a few months afterwards.

What about for internals parasites?

I have used gc and prazi on various scorps; rhino, leaf fish, yellow spot,, caribbean. And each time they stressed to the point I had to remove the meds before completion. I ran complete treatment of gc with a leaf fish and a yellow spot, they both died shortly afterwards. While maybe between a half a dozen and 10 attempts, it makes me not treat as a prophylactic, I would only used when absolutely necessary.

Everyone's doing great; the rhino lives with the pride of the 90g 4 lions, a trio of waspfish lives with the leaf fish in a bc29, and the barbfish lives with a fu manchu in a 40B.
