Could you pin point exactly which 'frogfish' you were interested in.

A latin name would be really useful.

THE ORANGE FROG FISH MAYBE!

THANKS!!

If we are talking about the marine fish, I found mine very easy to keep, but you have to be prepared to sit there dangling a dead fish in front of their nose till they learn to feed on frozen food.

YEAH I AM UP FOR THAT!!
how often do you feed it?
and how big does yours grow up to?

thanks!!

I don't have him any more, but when I did, I fed him (at 4 inches) a 4 inch silverside-type of thing from the TMC frozen foods range about once per week. Mine was one of the smaller species and only grew to about 5 inches, I think.. probably didn't help that he was silly lazy and barely ever moved.

They are better on their own, and can attack small fish, but other wise very easy. (i think)
