scat: scatophagus argos
Found: North to South Japan, indo pacific regions
Diet: Greedy beasts, will eat anything, good idea to include veg in their diet to avoid them eating your plants
Size: 8-10 inches
Organization: Shoaler
Sexing: No discernable difference
Breeding: Unknown
These beautiful fish are found in various colourmorphs including red and silver. Scats are shoaler and behave very similar in life style to that of the mono sebae. Scats arent shy when feeding, and it is for this reason they have their name "eater of faeces" Not pleasent eh? Anyway, they are generally peacefull but should be kept in larger groups to avoid aggression, and shoal members ideally should be about the same size
