frogfish tank mates?

I've heard as long as you kept the snowflake fed its fine wish most fish.

How about the angler/frogfish, think if well fed, could it live in a 90 gallon (community) reef?

 

[haysanatar]

I'd say thats a bad idea.
they'd eat EVERYTHING

 

[Otto_VonBacon]

Aww, that's to bad.

A part of me wants an amazing reef, while another wants a predator tank.

assuming 'everything' is smaller than it...

If i were to get a "small" angler off liveaquaria that they claim to be around 1-2 inches, would it outgrow other things such as gobys/blennies and clowns?(well it would over time, but i'm talking which would grow faster)

Or would gobys/blennies be a total no no, no matter what?

I hear clowns rarely leave the anemone, and anglers like to stay in the same place, so would they even meet up?

Again it would be well feed, i would set up a feeder shrimp tank in my bathroom next to my brine shrimp

Not that I'm going to do it unless i know it won't be a slaughter.

I hear clowns rarely leave the anemone, and anglers like to stay in the same place, so would they even meet up? the clown wouold eventually be angler food, wether in a week or a year, food none the less

Not that I'm going to do it unless i know it won't be a slaughter.

by community i meant like the frogfish, a lionfish, a few tangs, maybe an eel/angel etc.. not clowns and damsels and such

Ok then no angler for me, guess I'll have to settle with less-aggressive awesome fish.

 

[haysanatar]

frogfish are pretty awesome though..

Yes they are. I have one in a tank here at work. It's a big hit with the folks here in the office, especially at feeding time.
