Info

Scorpaena plumieri Bloch, 1789

Scorpaena plumieri, the spotted scorpionfish, is a species of venomous marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Scorpaenidae, the scorpionfishes. It is found in the Atlantic Ocean.

The spines located on the back of the fish can inject venom, so these animals can pose a danger to humans. The venom is composed of hemorrhagic, hemolytic and proteolytic activities, as well as cardiotoxins, which result in a drop in blood pressure, and heart and respiratory rate. Symptoms include excruciating pain at the site, followed by edema, erythema and occasionally skin necrosis, other symptoms include adenopathy, nausea, vomiting, agitation, malaise, sweating, tachycardia, arrhythmias, difficult to breath and severe hypotension.

Dieser Fisch ist das verfressendeste Tier was ich je gesehen habe.... Der will wirklich alle fressen!! Dadurch bekommen die andere Fische ständig weiße Pünktchen, weil er sie ständig fressen will!!!
Ich hab ihn damals wieder abgegeben, also Probleme mit der Nahrungsaufnahme hat man bei diesem Tier nicht!!!
Bis zu 8 Goldfische in der Größe von 6 cm hat er am Tag weg geputzt, dann hat er die anderen wenigstens etwas in Ruhe gelassen, er war ja auch satt!!!
Probiert es, ich möcht ihn nie wieder haben!!! :-)
