i wish i could be of more help .. you can always ask a friend to lend a vid camera too. if you can find a small tank that you can quickly plumb into the system with pumps and separate the frogfish from the tank it may help untill you find the culprit.. i know its a pain if i was closer i have 3 10g tanks sitting around

i feel bad for the poor guy

Thanks, unfortunately there's no need for help or to feel bad now. I just got home from my friend's birthday party and I found the frogfish dead

I had been debating on moving him to my sump in my large tank system, but I didn't want to stress him out more by moving him. Also I have a mantis in that sump and I didn't want to risk it hurting the frog. However the mantis rarely ever comes out of his hole in his rock, so it might of been ok...guess I'll never know now

Ya it was so bizarre. He was eating and doing good then his tail falls? off/goes missing. Treated with melafix and he seemed to be doing good and his tail started to grow back. Then this morning he's breathing hard, then his hand goes missing, then I find him dead! I still have no idea what happend to his tail or hand, I'm guessing the hard breathing was from the melafix (which is why I did a water change and added a bubbler) but however, in the end, all I know is that the whole thing doesn't make sense.
