frogfish

I have been doing some thinking on this, and I realize I have never actually seen pictures or heard reliable stories about frogs eating each other. It's generally assumed that they'll eat anything they can fit in their mouths, but I'm really struggling to find evidence that they commit...

I've purchased a few anglers and have never had much success with them. I've done extensive research, but I'm beginning to believe it may be my source or there may be some tricks or tips that I'm missing to help with success. I know they're not generally expected to live but a few years in...

Wanted to share. thought you guys would appreciate the little guy! he's 1.5" Antennarius Maculatus. Check out the Build Thread to see more of him!

I recently started hyposalinity for my striated anglerfish because he came down with what appeared to be ich. Lots of small white dots that changed location overnight and grew in population over a few days, they were even on his ”hair”. He seems to be fine with the lower salinity but last night...

My frogfish was not interested in eating yesterday which was unusual for him. He eats a small peace of frozen silversides once or twice a week. Today, we came home to find what looks like his eye to be swollen shut and maybe some kind of fungus growing around his face and lips? (See pictures...

apologies for the double post, accident I came home from work today and my angler that I just gotten in and acclimated yesterday was sitting upside down almost floating off the sand kinda going with the flow when last night he had been acting normal properly latched onto a rock just doing his...

I got this frog fish a couple of weeks ago. I’ve feed him a live chromis and was working on training him on silversides. I was transferring him to a smaller acclimation box to help with the tong training but in the process he flapped around and swallowed a bunch of air and water. I gently...

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...
