three spine frogfish

[whitwolf]

hey does anyone know if frog fish eat dead fish...they have been eating some fish and then killing others,i am not sure if they save them for later or shoul i just remove the dead ones

You should probably keep it by itself, it's going to keep killing your fish. Remove the dead ones or your ammonia will go thru the roof (if it isn't allready - you should test it and probably do a waterchange)
I don't know if he's killing them or the ammonia is killing them. He is going to need a BIG tank when he grows up!

Three spine frogs are actually a FW species, not a true SW frog. I'm not sure if they need brackish or not.
