If the Afro ate your anubius plants these guys will finish it even quicker. LOL

Good reason to get plastic plants.

Yeah, even fake plants are not immuned, they'll eat plastic when hungry!

Are these better in pairs or by themselves Wes?

I really want a couple but I just dont know if I can afford them. Sucks being a poor college student.

They do better single or in larger groups. In pairs, they run into the trouble of fighting with each other. Unless, you could mix a bunch of other "cheaper" scats with them, that usually helps.

I bought two from wes when he had them a few years ago. One killed the othe after about a year - became dominate/bigger and just bullied it to starvation and death. By the time I figured out what was going on, quarantine was of little use.

I'm buying two more now, and bought a green spotted (scat argus) last week in anticipation of this purchase. I'm hoping the larger group will do better.

My experience has been in a lightly brackish tank (1.004-1.007) with archers/eels, and these guys really are bullet proof. I think everything you read about the more common scat argus applies, but also with a bit of anecdotal evidence of good FW tolerance.

For those considering a brackish tank, you won't regret it.
