Frogfish Ambush
 
I was working with Spencer at Victoria Blue World Aquariums, and I still can't believe he was able to catch this on camera. We learned a valuable lesson to say the least!

Check out "frogfish ambush" http://blueworldaquariums.com/blog/ you will have to scroll down slightly.

For those who are squeemish/do not like seeing things being eaten, this video may not be for you ;)

wow cool video

Whoa!!! What a little piggy!
I've heard that Froggies can swallow fish so big that both fish perish. Now that's really a case of: "My eyes were bigger than my stomach."

Sorry Naesco, I knew you wouldn't like that one. What can I say, sometimes you learn the hard way.

I was hoping my disclaimer would work, sorry for offending you.

That was awsome.....I thought it was going to be the Honeycomb eating the frogfish...that was a pretty lucky video.

I think those honeycomb eels are the most beautifull fish in the ocean, to bad they are so mean.Im still considering setting up my big tank for just one of them.

Good one, there goes the profit margin on the Frogfish.

mark 10-10-2010 04:12 AM

so does that mean the price of the frogfish goes up if it has a Sailfin in it's belly?

Haha! My favorite so far has been when someone suggested it is now a great deal because you get a two for one discount!

I've always read that they can eat a fish that is as large as they are but I didn't really believe it until now.

Murminator 10-10-2010 07:00 PM

couldn't eat the cheaper of the 2 tangs.....

At least whoever buys it will know it eats well and has a good apetite. Brings new meaning to FOWLR with the "F" standing for frogfish.
