I think he wants to eat me.

[Dgmannn412]

What the he'll am I?
I think I am Opsanus tau
I have tryed to kill this guy 3 times in less then 24hrs.
I think I can do it?
I don't like to move
I don't like to be looked at
I'm invincible wait no invisible
What should I eat?
Is 8.2ph too high for me?
Should I be in saltier water 1.008
If I eat that figure 8 puffer will i die?
I hate you all leave me alone
Any help as to what this is whould be greatly appreciated. I picked it up last night I have it in a 10gal rite now but I'm debating between a 20 long and a 40 breeder. It dosnt move very much and I have way overkill of filter and bio media. So either one is fine with me but if I can go smaller then I would like to.

They have venomous spines never heard of anyone getting killed by one. Yes they pretty much stay still like a rock. I would not keep with a figure eight puffer.

Stonefish

Aka freshwater stone fish or toadfish . I believe they need brakish water.

They were also called freshwater lionfish back in the day.

You can probably keep it in the 10. It is more of a brackish water coral then a fish. Lol. If it moves, throw a party. cool fish.

LOL!...and,what is,up with trying to kill the fish three times?

 

[Dgmannn412]

No no no don't misunderstand my horrible way of asking important questions. It's attack me the person 3 times since I've purchase it.

 

[krichardson]

Oh okay.....thank you for explaining that.

I didn't wanna go into detail because I wasn't sure if there's multiple species as I've seen them in full saltwater as well long term. But if it's the "freshwater" species then yes brackish water is what it'll need eventually.
