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?

[mark]

Nice looking fish you guys have.

From the backgrounds look they're in reefs, had any problems (either the cause or receptiant)?

In my tank i have a starry blennie, sexy shrimp, and a pepperment shrimp... the froggy doesnt show the least bit of intreset in anything other then pods and the silversides i feed it every 4 or so days.

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.

the sexys been in there forever and its a full grown sexy, with my old froggy i watched the sexy walk across the frogfish.

[moldrik]

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.
