frogfish

[skyedolphan]

i was wondering if anyone knew if it would be a bad iead to put a frogfish in a 20 gallon refuge and where you can buy frogfish

[tstone]

I have two, One in my main tank 13g and one in my fuge 15g.

They both are doing great. One I have had for over a year and he is very happy. The other I got in a trade about 2 months ago and he is also happy.

The Maculatus will eat from chop sticks and the other wont. The other will only eat live food.

I don't have an actual pic of the A. Maculatus but here is a representative pic

I tried to post a pic of the other one but the file is to big.

Anyway Skiptons has an A. Maculatus right now, or they did have last week.

[skyedolphan]

so it would be alright to but one in a 20 refuge

[skyedolphan]

where is skiptons?

[tstone]

Your 20 will be no problem.

Skiptons is in Boston right at Mass Av. and Rt 93. (617) 541-0520

Jeremy at Coral Reef Aquarium has one as well. It is about 3 or 4 inches, Kind of orange color, very cool, and tame.

These fish are easy to keep. Just don't over feed them and do not keep anything the same size or smaller in with them. They will eat them.

I feed mine about once or twice a week. I give them all they will eat and then not again for a few days. They have both grown and are very fat and healthy.

Does anyone have a small one I can borrow? I have a small damnsel I'd like to get rid of . . . .

Skye the one at Jeremy's is very cool, kind of a tangerine color.

Live Aquaria (http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/scateg.cfm?siteid=21&pCatId=19)

Here is another one for sale on-line.

If it were me I would get the one Jeremy has. I think he told me it will eat out of your hand.

My red one looks a lot like what they are calling a colored angler.

The yellow one we have isn't for sale.. hehe. It's growing too fast, we are going to have to put him on a diet.

These are easy fish to get.. we just don't keep them in stock because most people don't have appropriate tanks for them.
