Frogfish Question

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I just read on another fourm that it may be fatel, somthing with their swimbladder can not get the air out, and that may kill it somhow. I was not stated as a fact but just said on a fourm like I am talking now.

But Mr. Reef if you can find somthing I would be interested to hear, I can tell you the fourm and where I found the info if you like?

Good luck thanks.
 
I may be wrong but off the top of my head I dont think that frogfish have swimbladders. Im also going to have to do some reading on them to help find you an answer.
 
There is a website absolutereef.com with a big section for nothing but frogfish on it, and somewhere in their I read someone said not to lift them out of the water.

You may be right about the swimbladder, but whatever they have I do not think it can be lifted or it MIGHT get an air bubble and could be fatel.

Just somthing I read, and it would be nice to know incase people net them or buy one from a LPS. The next one I get I am telling them not to lift it.
 
I'm gonna say no, I removed old Angler from his bucket to a net to the tank he actually got stuck in the net for a minute but he worked himself lose and he was fine
