Well I do know that it shouldn't be kept as a communal scorpions but during my experience as keeper, I have been able to keep a few Non Communal species together. Leirus for example i kept 5 L. q hebraeus 1.2.2 in a 20 gal tank for about 4-5 months without a problems and there was a size diference between the 3 adults and the 2 subs. They use to hide under the ame piece of driftwood all together.
Now after my boring story i would like to know if anyone has kept P. liosoma (Pair) in the same tank? I would like to hear your experiences.
Thanks for your time guys.

They are buthids so there's always a chance of cannibalism, but I know of colonies of this species of up to 6 individuals that have done well together over long periods.

That man had them in a big tank with many shelters from rocks etc. and they respected themselves :p .Everyone was under own hiding place.Taht they lived together was necessary,because he wanted reproduce them.Maybe it also depends if they grown up together or separately(like another genuses),but thet are buthidas,so it is just my supposition.
