It's like watching a documentary. The video work is superb.

Thank you Isaac =)

I have a yellow warty frogfish like yours and I had him for six months. I can't get him to eat fish so, I gutload large shrimp for him. This video helped me to know even more than I know about my fish. Thanks

Love the scape of the drop off... That GSP mat is beautiful! Mine is starting to cover the overflow on the back of my tank, can’t wait

Hey inappropriate reefer. I just wanted to thank you for giving me the courage to dive into saltwater. In the previous years most reefers made it seem impossible to have a simple reef set up and sadly more often than not came across as both very arrogant and condescending. I was discouraged for the longest time. Thanks to you I've now got a nice soft coral nano reef with some clowns and its all going strong. Your reef tanks videos from your college days were really inspiring. I keep on dreading a tank crash but I wake up to my corals doubling in size and more bizarre creatures crawling out of my live rock every day. Also water chemistry is way more fun than it should be. But I'm also going to call you an arsehole because now I'm looking into setting up a bigger tank.

We just got us a painted frogfish. Honestly I just thought it was a super red frogfish but thanks to you, now we know exactly what it is. He hasn't eaten yet but it is super fun to watch the damsel get super close and is super exciting to watch. The best part is having people look at our tank and tell them that we have a new fish but they are unable to see it, even though it's directly in their face and is RED. If anyone is in the Houston, TX area, That Aquarium Place has amazing prices and if you ask the owner to order you one he can get one in his next shipment.

That's awesome! I hear sometimes people use live brine shrimp just as a way to get some feeding response before weaning over to other more nutritional food. Good luck getting your Frog to eat and hope he continues to impress your friends for a long time to come. ;-)

Do you keep him with other fish ?

I breed black mollies as food, because by breeding them myself, I can ensure they're parasite free, well nourished and black mollies can be raised in fresh water, then acclimatised to salt.

Look fwd to your videos every Sunday man!!!

one of the best looking reef tanks i’ve seen

Considering that the majority of wild fish have internal parasites and that frogfish in the wild eat those fish regularly, I don't think you should be worried about parasites. Apparently, their digestive system kills them. Very acidic stomach fluids, perhaps, who knows? I saw a documentary where a frogfish ate a lion fish, one of the most venomous fish ever. If it can digest that with no ill effects, it can digest anything.

Frogfish can eat lionfish, mine ate a dwarf zebra lionfish with no problems at all and no single sign or sickness or illness, but the spines can still cause trouble for the fish if they penetrate the skin.

That makes sense. Sort of like we could feed our dogs raw food since they have a short digestive tract and the bacterias would not have time to establish themselves. It would make sense for their body to adapt to the type of food they eat.

Awesome footage and awesome info👍

Very informative!!!!! Great video!

Great video man :). I've had my frogfish for about 2+ years at this point. Feed him a silverside 1/3-1/2 of his body length every 4 days. Usually poke some holes in it and infuse it with a bit of selcon. Sometimes I may get him a live snack such as a damsel, or feed him some frozen krill.

Does your frogfish attempt to bite you when adding coral to your tank or performing glass maintenance

Thank you

Would love to have one , but it would eat my clowns :(

you could get mollies and gut load them yourself in your main tank(might even breed in there but im sure the fry would get picked off) they can live in salt(altho generally in a reef they eventually die because they cant take the flow)

Ive had my painted frogfish for a few months already. He's about mochi's size may be a bit bigger so he has ALOT of room to grow. I love watching him eat live food but read a post about how freshwater food isn't good for them. However, luckily the method i use for putting food in tank was a net so my frogfish ate frozen shrimp regardless.

I'm still not sure about the diet and I think many are still debating if there are negative effects.

From reading the threads it seems like a variety of diet may be best... freshwater feeders would be OK as long as it is the only thing that the Frog eats day in and day out?

I have two 20 gallon filters for my 20 gallon tank, will this be adequate filtration or too much filtration?

How's the tank and Angler fish doing? I'm curious because I have a small reef tank, bored with the standard clownfish and others, these guys look so cool.and definitely something different. Been doing a lot of research and looking for one like yours.

Lovely video, thank you for sharing. Your aquarium just keeps getting better and better. I finally got my frogfish, he is a painted I believe and he cost me $20, and he's lovely. I have been feeding him amano shrimp, but tomorrow he will try his first tetra. I am thinking about getting him a partner, which I have read is ok, but would like to hear other peoples thoughts.

@InappropriateReefer

Hey John, congratulations on your Painted Frogfish! I hear Amano Shrimp is quite pricey, are you breeding them or do you have a good source for these guys? I was thinking about adding another as well and it seems possible as long as they are similar in size or a true pair (male in the pair seems to only be 1/4 in size of the female though, quite dangerous).

Hey IR, Thank you very much, I will have to join instagram so I can show you some pictures. Luckily in China the amino shrimps are dead cheap, i get around 20 for about 3 USD, I have an extremely simple tiny aquarium and sponge filter to house the shrimp, they last just fine. They have quite a regular supply, although I had to buy some tetras this week because of the Chinese new year. He has eaten all 5 tetras in the last 4 days, and they were $1.50 for 5. Luckily frogfish are readily available here, so I will probably try a red colour variation and hope it doesn't change so much, my one changed from black to epoxy coloured!

Great video mate, we will be gettiing a frogfish soon :)

Hey i just picked one up. Not sure on the breed hes pretty grey. Black friday deal $30. Anyways. I got some shrimp to feed him. My question is how long will freshwater shrimp or fish last in saltwater before they die?

Looking good. Sorry to see your clam. I follow you on instagram. Always lookkng forward to your videos

Very interesting fish. How much do frogfish eat in one day? Or how many fish?

Please let me know where I can get one. Thanks

Wow, that's expensive. At my LFS they had 2 frog fishes. A warty frogfish for $119, and painted for $89.99.

They are a loved snack by many, so I suggest keeping them in a none predator tank unless you plan on buying as often as you were damsels. I know breeding them saved me alot of money. A female guppy or Molly was giving me approx 35 babies a month. And they were mostly grown to feeding size in a months time.

Looking for a second frogfish

I tell people to never buy rosyred minmows or commet goldfish for marine carnivores. Instead, I recommend using mollies and ghost shrimp. Sailfin mollies are much larger and have bigger babies than most regular mollies. They can be raised in a marine sump. Most bait shops also sell blood worms but that can be expensive option.

Are they saltwater or freshwater 🧐

Frogfish are cool but they eat everything and are a pain in the ass. I had one eat a drumfish twice it’s size.

I'd stay away from Freshwater feeder fish just because of the chance of disease.

Why not try to feed saltwater ghost shrimp? They are the same price and size.

For whatever reason, Mochi seems to be ignoring him completely. I am on the fence about pulling him... maybe in a month or two if I grow more attached to it.

Since you have saltwater fish and coral, I guess you are like the coral reefs and marine ecosystems. I am therefore worried that you feed with live damsel fish. It will probably be good for your frogfish, but not for our marine ecosystems and coral reefs (Cyanide and other toxins are often used to catch hobby fish in the marine environment which is participating in destroying the coral reefs). Many of the fish we have in the aquarium hobbies cannot be bred in captivity. However, some species can, but not all of the species can breed quickly enough to satisfy supply and demand. I would therefore recommend you to train your frogfish to eat dead feeder fish that can be purchased in bulk at your retailer, as I think these are a more environmentally sound decision. I'm in this hobby myself, but want to make my decisions as environmental friendly as possible :) Otherwise, I love your videos so keep up the good work. I have attached a link from the National Geographic about the above topic, maybe you can make a video about this one day 😊 news.nationalgeographic.com/2016/03/160310-aquarium-saltwater-tropical-fish-cyanide-coral-reefs/

Thank you for your thoughtful comment! I have read the link you sent before and actually wanted to visit one of the net catching exporter in Philippines during my last Asia trip, sadly it did not happen this time but that is on my to-do list, I want to see what actually happens on the other end. I remember scientific paper has been published on the impact of ornamental reef fish collection and how it was minimum compared to commercial fishing (fish specie population actually increases overtime at collection site), but this is of course assuming collectors stick to the rules. There has been many debates around this topic and maybe one day I will be brave enough to put in my $0.02 as a hobbyist, I think my personal believe puts me somewhere in the middle leaning more towards your side. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts and following the channel!
