I just buy freshwater, and acclimatize them slowly, although if he eats them right away, then less acclimatization would be needed. I have 2 adult mollies and 4 babies in my sump (saltwater) that I got as freshwater.

Ya I'm a sucker for super cute gobies, I love having a little tank full of them

What store would that be

j/k I had thought about bringing some mollies home but wasn't sure if he would still be alive when I got back home so I didn't bring any back with me. Good news is he's still alive. Surprisingly the little chromis that's in there with him (#3, been in there about a week now) is still alive too.

Sean at AI told me about Metronidazole by seachem and mentioned that it might help, but I don't know to much about it so I haven't tried it yet.

I've thought about this but didn't want to set up a separate tank just to breed saltwater mollies when I'm not sure how much longer my froggy will live for.

S.O.B.!!!!!!!!!!

Went to Calgary this weekend and I just got back today and I walked by my 34g and saw a shrivelled dried up thing on the floor......upon closer inspection I realized it was my yasha goby

R.I.P.

Picture I took just before I left on Friday

Hows your froggy doing? Big Al's ha a warty one that I want, but I havent got a tank for him, and I'm pretty sure he'll eat some of my wrasses.

Unfortunately he died about a month ago. I posted it in another thread but forgot to mention it here.

After my experience and from hearing about others not having much success with frogfish I doubt I will ever try one again. Any frogfish would definitely eat wrasses. I saw film of a frogfish eating a lionfish in the wild, it was pretty crazy to watch, they are a species that need a tank to themselves.

I'm sorry to hear that. I've heard that they'll eat anything that'll fit in their mouths. The only tank I have that I could put him in where he'd be the smallest occupant, he would probably get eaten (I'm "fish sitting" a stonefish, and I've no doubts he would eat the frog at the first opportunity).
