Prickly Sculpin Tank

What a beautiful tank and interesting fish. Thanks for sharing!!!!
 
Wow! Thats really cool. Interesting looking fish.
 
For some reason, your describing them as soft and squishy makes them seem so appealing to me. Off to google, lol. Great setup!

Ah! I got you! I did not think anyone kept these fish or even avail in the hobby. thus the question on your other thread.

I have kept few different species of locally caught s/w Sculpins myself back in the days but never specific kept in f/w ones.

I think they are very unsual and cute and must say from looking a the pics, it has its own personality/characteristics.

I saw nice s/w stonefish at lfs recently. It looked just like a stone/rock covered with purple/pink coralline algae. In fact, most shoppers did not even notice the stonefish until pointed out.

Have fun!!!
