Check out this change in my Scorpion!

I have had this for 3 weeks now, and I am loving the color change that it is undergoing.
I bought this scorpion thinking it was a frilly rhino but it is actually an ambron scorpion. He is eating VERY well, is doing well and is growing well. Here is a picture of when I got him


here is his picture tonight


I am excited as often fish get drabber as they stay in captivity...and he is still only eating live food....but I am supplementing him with HUFA's and Vitamins

Oh yeah...his name is VIPER....these fish can be very, very venoumous and should have been left in the ocean. The store I bought it from thought it was a rhino also..was only when I was another site that a fish expert ID it as ambron that I was able to get the picture ID and see the true difference. They are very close in appearance to the frilly rhino with the exception that these have a mustache and horns

 

lol thats awesome.

 

hE IS BEAUTIFUL!!!!
OPPS CAPS ARE STILL ON....I AM NOT YELLING AT YOU.....I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR ME JUST FINE!!! lol

 

what an incredible transformation, congrats! i do not see those guys too often. it takes a special kind of fish-nut to own one ;D

 

i feel a hand feeding video coming on.:LolLolLol

 

Nut describes me for sure

My parents freaked out when they found out I had a peacock mantis...my mother made me promise to NEVER, EVER place my hand in its tank...yes mother I promise....

Then they found out I have this fish....

So I had my mom down and I was showing her all my tanks (and I mean all...even fish people are now thinking I am a freak) and I show her Bob the mantis tank. Even though I do not push him...I know when he is angry and when I should stay away. So I show her I can place my hand in the tank and it be ok. I start cleaning his tank...she starts hitting me...get your hand out, get your hand out! Startles me, which startles Bob..but Bob just went into his den....he knows who feeds him!

So I show her Viper....I feed him his feeder shrimp....the shrimp goes behind a rock...WITHOUT even thinking..I reach into his tank (cause I do it often) and move the rock to put the shrimp closer to him...my mom freaks out again......

I am now grounded from my tanks at the age of 35: I had to vow right then and there that I would never stick my hand in those 2 tanks again and that if I did and got hurt that I would never ever call her!

 

any pics of your mantis? i used to keep one myself, hands down one of the most intelligant species ive come across

 

Cool. Amazing transformation!

 

My Mom and (especially) my Dad do that to me. At 44. A few years ago I was going to the ocean (it is about 90 minutes away to the Pacific Ocean for me). He was telling me to bring a coat because it is windy there and I might get cold. And watch out for the undertow.....don't let Logan (my son....4 at the time) go out into the ocean without me.

OK Dad. That's all I could say.

I suppose I will probably do that to my kids too. Oh well. Could be worse.

Nice fish.......Crazy to have it, but nice fish. I would have loved to see that on video. It would have been very groovy to watch.
