We just got four very little frogfish in today. Super cool! I was looking for any information on care of them. I am especially looking for what food items to get them started on to begin with. Also best way to get them moved over to frozen. I have the basic information on keeping them just looking for some experience on how and what to get them to eat. Any help would be great thanks.
 
I have had these guys for awhile. They are brackish, and seem to like a specific gravity of 1.009 to 1.012. Whatever store you bought them from problem was giving them rosy reds. Frogfish (called toadfish in my area) get stressed initially in a new tank, and won't eat for a week or so. I weened mine onto a frozen krill diet by dramatically tapering the rosy red frequency and delivering a frozen cube in front of his face via turkey baster. Shut off the lights, and the cube was gone by morning.
