:grinyes: , most native crays end Ive had end up being food or eating my fish....Im glad to see your Sculpin is still doing good!
 
I'm sad to announce the monster has fallen, she went blind in both eyes over about 6 months...and passed over night. Not sure if it was age or not...but she is gone.

There will always be a fish shaped hole in my heart for her.

i have a few pics I took a few weeks before she passed ill try to post.
 
Kaosu....sorry I didnt see this post until know....I have been on Hiatus, my condolences, she was a beautiful fish who I think inspired many of us Native fish keepers.
 
Anyone know temperature requirements? Nanfa says 32-62 F but I have a feeling that with enough oxygen and aeration that they could go higher than that. I have a 5.5 gallon that's just freed up and I'm thinking about getting a mottled at my local creek as a small, native wet pet for it.

Young sculpins can tolerate higher temperatures but once they are mature, they lost their tolerance. I wouldnt get a 5gal for the sculpins as it is too small for them as they can get big.

Would you say < 62 for adults then? The 5 gal would only be a temporary home but maybe I'll wait until I have a free 20 tall and attempt to breed them.
