Scorpion ID.

LiveAquaria said 10cm, although they seem to have a bit of sus information haha. I'm sure he'd be happy enough in my cube, however I'm not sure if I'd manage with the added nutrients in such a small tank full of coral :/

Yours could be a S. Mauritana perhaps? A relative of the yellow spot

Never mind, yours isn't a Mauritana I don't think. She's gorgeous anyway!

It sure isn't [emoji1] the colours are so incredible, and I still haven't seen another [emoji14]

They top out around 10cm which would have been too big for my 1 foot cube haha. He's half that size so it's all good!

I've had mine a few years and it's nowhere near 10cm I'd say closer to 6cm. It's got fatter but not much longer. It also doesn't move too much preferring to perch, so a 1ft cube should be good.

I'd love one like yours 94Roarge. Perhaps we can get an ID and I can go searching haha.
Thanks mort, I guess the one I'm getting should be fully grown or pretty close to it

@LionfishLair @rayn do you guys know what 94Roarges scorp posted above is?
Also how would you guys feel about adding multiple yellow spots to a tank? The display is 20gal and total water volume could be between 30-60 depending on if I use the fuge as part of this set up, or as an independent tank.

Double post

I've seen pairs of yellow spots kept but not sure how you'd sex them or if any two would do.

Guess what I got today

Sorry, I don't know what type of scorp that is from the picture. Maybe other angles would help. It's a great looking fish.

Yellow spots stay super small.

That's why I'm keeping a yellow spot. If I had the space, I'd keep dwarf lions. What are your thoughts on multiple yellow spots together?

Go for it IMO

Nope, fresh from cairns

Beautiful fish. I'm not sure about multiples, just have a Plan B in case it doesn't work.

Thanks

I'll get two eventually and put one in my fuge if they don't get along.

Good so far, I got a few feeders from work to get him (and everyobe else gets a treat) by until it is trained up [emoji14]
