scat fish

Scats are magnificent fish with cool green color with black dots over the body. Scats have many close resemblances of butterfly fishes. I Saw the Scat fish for the first time in my school library. I was stunned by its appearance and its movement. Its swimming style will be cool to watch. Scats have spines at its top fin. If they get threatened they will raise its top fin with the spine. They will look cute and some times alarming when they raise their spines. They use their spines for defending them self by stinging. Their stinging will create pain for some time. This quality is even seen in the young scats. They have a property to change their color. It depends on the water,temperature,the aquarium setup. They will become pale brown or half dark according to the change in surrounding. I am a biggest fan of scats. Only drawback of scats is, they are more aggressive and they cannot be put up with other soft characteristic fishes. I tried to putting the young ones with gold fish. But even young fellows started attacking gold fish : ( They attack the fins first and damage the gold fish fins. I wonder how the young scats have such guts to attack bigger gold fish. Imagine button a sized scats attacking a billiard ball sized gold fish : ) Young scats will have hard covering on its body, the hard part covering will slowly goes off once the gets the grown up stage. Even butterfly fishes have the same property. Scats are very active fishes. Keeping a community of scats will be an awesome setup in the aquarium…
