Hehe... thanks!

Frogfishes are in the 2 middle compartments on the cubicle tank. Probably too much coralline and other algae in there for you to see them, haha.

Here's a pic I just took of the wartskin (A. maculatus). He was black with red dots when I got him. He lost his juvenile coloration and turned into this color morph.

Can't get a pic of the A. pictus. He's hiding in the back of his compartment.

holy cow. thats a cool fish! you gotta give me the frogfish tour next time. what are you feeding them?

 

[Mr. Ugly]

Yep, come on over!

I've been cutting up pieces of Ocean Nutrition gel cubes for them. I used to give them pieces of fish market shrimp, but haven't done that in a long time. Seem to be doing pretty good with the gel cubes.

i thought they eat live food only..

 

[Mr. Ugly]

Tank needs cleaning so kinda blurry...

They normally eat live food, but you can train them to take frozen food if you're patient.

I start with live ghost shrimp skewered on some fishing line. After a week or so I freeze the shrimps and use the fishing line again. After the frogfish gets used to non live ghost shrimps, I sneak in some other type of food.

Please put me on the list for a piece. I love the Macro.
