frogfish

Recently bought a walking batfish at the fish store, been wanting one for years. I have a plan to get it eating, however, has anyone else had experience with one? Would be cool to learn something I've maybe overlooked for greater success.

My frog fish is abnormally boated not sure if it’s he ate about five 1 1/2 inch fish about 3 days ago but just started getting really swollen could he have gulped air?

So I am pretty new to reefing but my dad knows a lot (so I will be getting help from someone with experience) . I'm getting into the hobby and were are going to get a frogfish. I have done extensive research on these guys and understand that they mainly take live food. I have no problem with...

A couple of things I'm hoping the r2r community can help me answer... 1. A reputable source for buying frogfish online 2. The most ideal water parameters or unique things I should be doing for my frogfish tank (Temp lighting MG etc) 3. Feeding amount, diet variation and supplementing 4. Can...

Can I put any frog fish in a squared 15 gal it has a protein skimmer and it has a curved glass

I was wondering if a good hanging filter with a protein skimmer would do well for a 30g frogfish coral tank? I'll be willing to get a different type but this is the easiest option right now. I'm turning the tank from fresh to salt and I already have a small hang on filter that I'm sure wouldn't...

Hi there, we have had Mochi, our wartskin frogfish, for almost a year now and we feed him approx. 2 saltwater shrimp every other day and he has stayed there same size (about an inch) for maybe 6-8 months. It just doesn’t seem like he is growing and I’m not sure why. I don’t want to over...

Can someone help me ID this frogfish species? @lion king thanks!

I have a 36 gallon reef. I’ve been really busy and I’m not home for most of the summer so my family has been taking care of my tank. I’ve already had 2 coral die since they’ve been taking care of it. I’ve been considering converting my tank into a predator tank. In terms of fish atm I have 2...

Hi, i want to add frog fish, i have some question to ask: 1. Does frogfish reef safe? 2. Does frogfish eat sand starfish & turbo snail? 3. Is feeding frogfish with freshwater fish is okay? Thanks

Hey everyone! So I got my dream fish; Mochi. :) He's a baby daddy frogfish and he is doing fine...I think..? I know they breathe "harder" than other fish...but I attached a video...can anyone tell me if he is breathing TOO hard?? Note: he did eat a shrimp yesterday....

Just got in an order from online, and I noticed immediately after putting the frogfish in it's holding tank that it had something weird going on with its mouth. It appears to have a damaged mouth? I see a broken bone and perhaps some exposed flesh, and it opens and closes as the fish breathes...

Hello, Over the last month I have begun training my frogfish on eating frozen silversides, today he took it but I couldn't get the line out out the silverside before he ate it completly, and I had to slowly pull the line out of him, during this time he inhaled a bunch of water into his stomach...

After 2 years away from the hobby, I've decided to jump back in! Now I know this isn't some monster build, but nanos have always had a small place in my heart! I've decided to go with a 20 Gallon Nuvo Concept Peninsula tank, it offers a very unique style, while also being a nano AIO build...

hello everyone. do any frogfish people know if my juvenile wartskin (about 1-2”) will try to eat small snails? i have some small nassaurius snails the size of chocolate chips in his soon to be tank and i don’t want him trying to eat any and end up choking on the shell or something. I saw he was...

Hey all- Been a lurker here for a while, but decided to create a build thread for my latest tank :D When I rebooted this tank my goal was to create a beautiful macroalgae display that would require minimal maintenance. Along the way, I started to notice that most of the things I planned on...

For the second time in the last couple weeks I’ve found a blob of clear slimy stuff in my frogfish tank. There’s also a painter grouper in there. Does anyone have any idea what it is?

Is it possible to keep the smallest type of frogfish alone in a 20 gallon tank? I think the smallest one was the wartskin frogfish. Another question is that the 20 gallon cube will not have its own filter or heater but will have a light. It is connected to a larger tank that has filters...

Our late frogfish *Monster*

I have a painted frogfish (Antennarius pictus i believe) that i got on Saturday (5 days ago) I fed him a feeder fish on Sunday because the fish store had him on an every other day diet so i thought it would be best if i was consistent. He ate it with no problems. Then on Monday i noticed when i...

I am looking to buy a small warty frogfish. If you have one for sale please let me know. Thanks!

So ive been really wanting to get a frogfish tank (specifically a painted or warty frogfish) for the past month or so but i have a few questions on them. Ive decided to go with the Fluval sea Evo 13.5 gal. I want to keep some corals such as zoas & softies maybe some lps down the line. As of...

What is the difference between those? Looking to get a variety of frogfishes.

Hello all fellow frogfish owners! How often and what do you feed your frogfish? We just got a little 2-3 inch painted frogfish, and we were told once a week feeding of 1-2 ghost shrimp is good. It just doesn't seem like much to me, and Squishy, the frogfish, moves around a lot hunting and sticks...

Friday the 21st is my husband and my 10th wedding anniversary, and I am so excited to surprise him with a 3.5 gallon pico tank for his office!!! I just got the tank today via Amazon, a Marineland 3.5 contour, so today the adventure begins! When I get home I will set it up and get the cycle...
