Somebody dropped a Gummy Bear in my tank!!! (or actually, Frogfish advice needed!)

Well, that how it looks from a distance!



This little guy is about an inch long.

Does any one have any tips to get him feeding?

How long does it take to get them eating?

What are you feeding yours?

I feel like an idiot waving a piece of silverside on a wooden skewer & him ignoring me!

Took mine nearly 3 weeks before it ate. I just feed it silversides. Try just the heads and make it wiggle like a fish LOL. They are so much fun

feed mine silversides too. but 1 inch is probably to small for silversides. It probably eats pods.

Oh man gorgeous. Where did you pick him up from? I'd love to pick one of those up.

I've been bugging Ian to send me a picture of the one he has (had?) for sale for nearly a month now. PLEASE TELL ME IT'S NOT THE SAME ONE??

Jason - I remember you telling me to wiggle the silversides like it's still alive so I tried it but he's stubbornly ignoring me (my g/f thinks weird trying to re-animate a dead fish! )

Maybe I need to buck up my animation skills...

"be the fish... be the fish..."

Machete - you might be right about his size making him not want the silversides.

Trouble is my tank has very little pods as I've set up my QT especially for him and there's little in the way of LR.

Tony - I got him from Big Al's in Burnaby. I don't normally go in there but came away from there yesterday having spent about $100.

I've been wanting one for ages & this one was way too nice to resist!

hmm well maybe just keep trying everyday... my first froggy took me about 2 and a half weeks... then he ate like a pig, the one i have now ate within 2 days.

It looks tangerine flavored, maybe with a bit of mango thrown in!

Nice addition though!
