Re: My new frogfish :D
Awesome little guy! How hard to take care of are they? Can you house one with a Toby?
29 Gallon Marine tank, with refugium, skimmer. Base rock, coral skeletons. Stock: Baby Ocellaurus Clown, young Saddled Toby, 3 Hermit crabs,one 2 inch Bristle Worm, hitch hiking starfish.
10g Biotope. 3 C. Travancoricus (Dwarf Puffer) Some Ghost shrimp, gravel/sand substrate, heavily planted with Swords and Java Moss.
10g LR Culture Tank. 10+ pounds fiji LR / base rock. Assorted hitch hiking inverts
Some FW tanks.
In My Experience, Fishkeeping is like Cooking. Five or ten basics will keep anyone from getting sick. But to be truly magnificent... You have to know the right Recipies.

Re: My new frogfish :D
30g / 40g minimum sized tank. Just feed 2 river shrimp per day. It'd be ok with a Toby until it was the same size and then it would probably eat it.Purifire wrote:Awesome little guy! How hard to take care of are they? Can you house one with a Toby?
Check out this vid to see what they can eat

Incredibly amazing fish, you are a lucky guy.

That has to be one of the coolest fish I have ever seen. Love the colouring
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

Lol I spent several minutes looking for the fish. Realized he was the white thing that I thought was some live rock. *rolls eyes*

Re: My new frogfish :D
i love these fish as well! very lucky! this one does look like it could be part of the rock, especially against that specific rock in the tank lol. i always thought they looked like ornaments
so do they not swim at all? what is minimum tank size for this species? or does it vary?

Re: My new frogfish :D
They do swim but mainly climb all over the tank. I was told that the minimum sized tank is 30g to 40g. Well worth getting a tank just for themselves as they're great to watchjus85411 wrote:so do they not swim at all? what is minimum tank size for this species? or does it vary?
