Well some sad news, after my frogfish lost his tail 3 days ago (and seemed to be healing and doing ok) I noticed today he was breathing really hard. Did a 25% water change and added a bubbler to the tank this morning then went to LFS in the afternoon. When I got back I noticed the frog still breathing hard then noticed his hand was gone My friends birthday party was starting right away and I wasn't sure what happend so I figured I'd leave him in the tank for now (didn't want to stress him more by moving him) and that I'd figure out what to do in the morning. Unfortunately when I got home from the party (a little while ago) I found him dead

Here's a link to the thread were I was talking about it http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=64837

Here is a pic. I took of the lion and the frog together Friday night May 28, when it seemed like everything was going to be ok. R.I.P. Bumblebee

Just so you know the frogfish I have in the tank now (the one in the pic.'s in this thread) I got from Ken. I named him Bumblebee and he is alive and well and finally consistently eating silversides.

The reason people at the beginning of this thread said sorry to hear about froggy is because I originally I set up this tank for my friends small grayish frogfish. However once the tank was ready for that frogfish to come live in it, I went to my friends to pick it up, only to find it dead Murphy's law he had it for about a year and it dies the day I go to pick it up.

So a couple of weeks later I went to Blue world and found Bumblebee (a sargassum frogfish) and the tank is now his home along with a fu man chu lionfish I named Fireflight.

Here's some new pic.'s of my fish and my crab. (frag pic's another day when I have more time before bed)

Bumblebee, who was hungry today and actually came to the tweezers for food before I could go to him, and ended up eating 2 piece's of silverside because he stole Fireflights food! Don't worry though because I got another piece for Fireflight, which he ate.


Fireflight


Mr. crab, who hangs upside down in the rock trying to filter feed.


I also often hear popping sounds coming from the tank and my friend that I got the rock from said he was missing a candycane pistol shrimp, so I'm pretty sure he's in there but I have yet to see him. When I do I will post a pic.
