Frogfish

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
The store is going to order me the frogfish with their vendors linsence, I realize whole salers do not sell to the public. I do not know what species the previous frogfish was, I was never able to see its lure in order to key it out. I'm considering a worty frogfish but I have not found a supplier that lists them by species. I will look into the supplier posted above.

If you're worried about wholesalers selling to the public, I am an unoffical emloyee of the store. I help them with reptile care and advice, advertise for them, and pass along unwanted reptiles I come across after I return them to good health. She pays me with discounted supplys.

I will also try the bamboo skewer in the caudle peduncle feeding method. Another fish store I visit has a giant frogfish that is trained to wigle its lure every time you get near the top of the tank. (I'd love to take it home, but at 8in. and $219.00 I can't fit it in my tank nor can I afford it.)
 
go for an angler dude I've had mine for a year a yellow warty angler/frog fish. there awesome and hardy as hell mine survived a 5 day winter time power outage. feeding is my favorite, my angler is about 4-1/2 inches long and eats a green chromis every other day i keep a school of like 15 for him to pick off and like 30-40 ghost shrimp once a week. i got mine for around 90$ and he was the size of a gum ball and he apparently gets football sized and can live around 10 years. easy to take care of and need nothing but good water quality and the right live foods.

Frogfish are great. The one I want is an Ocellated Frogfish. One of the larger species. I have experience with the Sargassum fish (Histrio histrio). Kind of a seasonal fish around these parts. Sargassum fish are pretty aggressive eaters even for a frogfish. The only thing I can tell you is that some species may not adapt to dead food right away and you may have to use ghost shrimp or similar items to start with. One technique that works for me is to use a feeding prong and put your food on it (krill, shrimp, silversides etc.) and try to make it look alive by moving it around. It worked on my radiata lionfish and the sargassum fish when I had one.
