I found it walking on my computer speakers. I'd like to know if I can feed this thing to my fish or T's.

It has 6 legs, and 2 antenna's. brownish color.

Hmmmm...Looks like some type of beatle to me. The pic is not to clear. In my experience, scorps usually don't take beatles. As far as feeding to fish, what kind are they? And Ts? I have no experience with them, but I have seen some cross the road with various things held in their fangs :}

Yes probably a Pentatomidae and I would definetly not use it as a feeder; 1) most Pentaomids put off very noxious defensive compounds 2) some Pents are actually predatory.
