Lol, thanks Salt Bae CJ!

You're really making me want to set up a frogfish tank now.

Never considered having a species specific tank, but this makes me want to try it. He looks awesome! Glad he seems to be doing so well considering how he arrived. Looking forward to future updates!

Whoa, you got him in the nick of time! Can't wait to hear more about Mochi.

That is the coolest fish ever! Keep us posted repeatedly on his progress!!

2020 I still miss Mochi very much

so glad the little guy made it. keep us posted!

Really making me want one of these beautiful frogfish!! But first... tons of research... as always. Nice, interesting vid.

the frog fish is one of the prettiest fish ever

Thing is with drip acclimating of fish that has been in transport for longer than a couple hours, The buildup of CO2 reduces the pH making the water more acidic and therefore the ammonia that has built up over the last 12 hours also becomes non-toxic to the fish. However when you open the bag to do drip acclamation you suddenly oxygenate the environment and the pH shoots back up to neutral and instantly makes the ammonia toxic to the fish. As soon as you open the bag you should release the fish out of the old water. Have only just found your channel love your videos has inspired me to get into salt water aquariums

Glad to see he is eating. Very cool fish!

that frog fish is bad ass!! I've never seen this fish before great video 👍

hey buddy, your frogfish is awesome and he is definitely a ghost shrimp killing ninja..lol. I can't wait to see the next update.

oh my gosh he's so cool! Also, Mochi is such a fitting name!

So happy for you man. Must feel like Christmas for you.

Great video, what powerhead or wavemaker do you recommend for a 20 long reef tank

he's crazy looking

Love you updates keep it up one day I'll do what you do 😂

love the frogfish! Tell us more about it!

love frogfish

awesome frogfish, how big will it get?

Love this fish! Is it possible to breed the feeder shrimp for him?

Love him😍

Wow he's awesome.... how's he doing?

He's beautiful!

he looks good in there

I was wondering if I could use fresh water sand for my reef tank?

The frog looks like it is saying ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

What's the name of the gsp? It's really looking nice!

That's dope! Maybe I will have to get one for my 100 gallon reef 🤔🤔🤔

Always wanted one of those little guys.

You could set up a small planted tank for the ghost shrimp and then they will breed and you won't ever have to buy them again

Poor little guy. If I was sending a fish to anyone I would be so paranoid about packing it safely, I don’t know how anyone could pack a beautiful animal like that so carelessly

one of my favorite predator fish.

Hey I just wanted you to know that I bought a wartskin frog fish he is around 3 inches long he is a bright yellow with purple on him his name is tinka the frog fish when he gets setting in to his environment I will send you a picture of the frog fish ! I hope mochi is doing great keep me posted thanks your fellow Reefer Michael . I paid 128.00 for him they are very expensive that's for sure !!!! lol

@InappropriateReefer

+Kyo Jane I believe they grow up to around 5", they hardly move around though, so as long as the water quality can be kept space doesn't seem like too big a concern. My opinion may change once Mochi gets larger and if he becomes more active! I think 20g is usually the minimum recommended tank size. Please let me know if you do set up a Frogfish tank!

It is from a private seller in Michigan, not sure where he got it from though. Let me check out Tropicorium, maybe I could get a yellow/red one down the road as well!

What did you pay for the frog fish? Can I get one shipped to Florida? Would it be ok in a 14g biocube?

@InappropriateReefer

7 жыл бұрын

I paid $100 for the fish and around $37 shipping from a private seller. I think DD has them once in awhile for around $150 - $199 shipped. Hmm, 14g would be OK for a juvenile, may be pushing it a little for a full grown one.

I see you have Mochi in a 17gal drop off, could you keep a frogfish in an 18gal column?

@InappropriateReefer

I think it is OK, the main challenge so far is keeping the water quality up, Mochi does not move around much

isnt ghost shrimp freshwater shrimp? will they do okay in saltwater?

Ghost Shrimp won't last in saltwater, so I try to drop the shrimp right in front of the Frogfish; the Frogfish usually gulps the shrimp down within a minute.

So jealous

What happened to mochi? DID HE DIE?

If a 14 is small for an adult, how long does it take to get full grown and will it eat a clownfish? I could put it in my 40 breeder but it has 4 clownfish.......

Before I got him I thought he could, but seeing how "active" he is I kind of doubt it... as much as I don't want rock work connecting the top/bottom, I may have to build something if he started venturing to that part of the tank.

Ok thanks for being quick to answer my questions and thanks for your great videos, but I have one more question, can I put a frogfish, an eel and a lion fish in one tank? A 29?

@InappropriateReefer

7 жыл бұрын

I'd imagine it being a very tight fit. I think Frogfish + Dwarf Lion MAY be ok (be sure to have great filtration), 29g for an eel would probably push it over the edge, even if it's one of the smaller Golden Dwarf.
