I got myself a yellow Rhinopias aphanes (Lacy scorpionfish)! About 5" long. Considered "the “Holy Grail” of aquarists who keep rare and unusual fishes."

Don't bother asking me for pics yet, he's still acclimating.

MY LFS gets those in all the time for lik 200-250 they are amazing fish cant wait for pics. Where did U get him from? If you dont mind, how much? And, What size tank?
 
I've got a 40g for him. $270
 
Wow, cant wait for pics!!!!
 
i dont see all the hype about rhinopias.. there are other oddball fish i'd MUCH rather keep..

they behave much like dwarf lions or scorpionfish right?
i'd rather have a wasp or lizardfish if i was going down the inactive benthic pred route...


but i'd still like pics :D
 
nice! kind of agree with big, unless the fish has unusual crazy colour. i'm eyeing a solid, bright orange frogfish, wishing i had the cash.
 
Hey, you guys are talking about my DREAM FISH here!
 
His name is Rufus.
 
I told Hubby how big of a mouth they have, so he said it must be a female then...
