What are the best tankmates for these guys? I wasn't too sure on which scorpion/toad fish to get either yet, so maybe any past experiences with these guys can help me in right direction?

I'm only looking for a couple tank mates for these guys, obviously. I'm down for ANYTHING and can get practically anything, since I can order w/e from my work, so just throw em out there :)
 
I got two 8 inch ish toads and have 2 15 inch ish snowflake morays. no problems touch wood!!!
 
I'm not really too sure about this. If I'm not mistaken toads are in-between lions and frogs on the predatory scale, scorps being similar. Fish that are bigger (not just longer) than the toad/scorp are your best bet in any case. Try to get planktonivores rather than benthic feeders, as the benthic feeders are known to pick on toads and scorps thinking them to be food. Peaceful preds such as lions and muraenids should work too, but toads are known to eat morays that are only a little bigger.
 
CFC's toads eat a moray of his. so far no probs with mine but I suppose you never know with predators like toads
