and a picture of my froggy


named it kurby
Wow - he's gorgeous. Where did you get him?

I had a break-though tonight. He bit onto the head of the silverside & stuck on for a few moments. I couldn't get the silverside off the skewer & when I tried to twist the skewer off, he let go

oh well!

Now I've seen him with his mouth open, I think the silverside was actually too big for him. Might have to trim it down a bit next time round.

I'll give it a couple of days & try again.

Excellent maybe try again tomorrow. if hes showing interest that means hes hungry enough to try eating anything.

I got it from Ian at Oceanic corals.

What other creatures in your tank do you have? Anything that you're concerned about getting killed?

Nice looking fish you guys have.

moldrik - I have nothing in the tank apart from a gorg & some LPS corals.

mark - No problems so far other than difficulty feeding but then, it's only been 5/6 days since I got him.

machette - peppermint & sexy shrimps eh... How big are your sexy's? How long have been in the tank together?

I'd love to put my Sexy's into the Froggy's tank.

Maybe if I add something like that last in the tank might be the best way to go about it. Once everything else grows out of "edible" size.

I might chance it with some sexy's once he's trained on dead foods.

Meanwhile, I'm giving him a few days break before I try feeding again. This time I'll use an acrylic feeding stick.
