can scorpions eat fish?

[black_ops]

would i just put the fish in front of it, or in the water dish, or what? i'm just wondering.

Can they? Yes, will they? Probably not, unless you have it live and throw it in when they are out at nite.

Oh, and let me add, not a lot of scorps will eat carrion, however, anything can happen.

aidan, is it normal for my scorp to rest with it's tail sitting on the ground beside it, mine has been doing this lately. one is getting real fat, and the other one is the one thats dragging its tail, and growing thinner.

pre-moult scorps drag themselves around alot, maybe this is the case

I've seen it mentioned a couple of places that Pandinus imperator eat's fish in their natural habitat as they usually lives very close to rivers and streams. I do not have any references though, i'll see what i can find.

I was referring to dead fish from, say, the grocery store, like bits of salmon. A goldfish most likely yes, I wouldn't know about the others.

many fishes carry nematodes which can prove fatal to your scorpions.
I would recomment not to feed any fish to your scorpions.

But that's just my personal view.
