do frogfish eat squid or anything dead ?

[mrlego611]

frogfish are also called angler fish but if u want to see a TRUE angler fish, go deep below the surface like when it gets super dark and there r all these weird fish.

[MeatfortoeatALT]

@mrlego611 The ones below the surface are certainly more interesting. It wold be neat if we could selectively breed them until they could be kept in a home aquarium without dying from lack of pressure.

[mrlego611]

@MeatfortoeatALT ik!! tht would be so cool!!! Then if that succeeds, then we can breed viperfish, gulper eels etc.

[ScrewAttackChina]

if re-incarnation is real, pls dont make me a frogfish

[NuttyNarwhal]

Do you have to feed them that or will they take smaller frozen foods?

[pureefficient]

are they like angler fish?

[Shimiyouji]

I literally just said "whaaat" out loud after seeing that. Amazing.

[perty364]

It isn't totally uncommon for a Frogfish to eat another Frogfish.

[AZnavarro99]

How well would a wart skin angler do with a red angler in an 80 gallon. Any problems?

[josehernandez16]

Oh that is just fucking awesome!

[EcBuddy123]

question, what if i keep scooter or algae blennies (maybe one or two) and two clownfish, can i add a small one that is smaller than the rest and feed him seperate from the rest frozen fish? these guys look cool but i also want some clowns and atleast one blenny

[instantsquid]

I wouldn't risk it - they will absolutely attempt to eat anything that fits in their mouths!

A species tank is the way to go.

[EcBuddy123]

@instantsquid ok thanks man o well they look cool but i guess not this time

[MrCommentcritic]

haha!

nomnomnomnom

vore...

[koreanstyler]

[Oiaku]

[Skullbuggy]

Auuuugh it's got people hands.

[haronasi]

Om nom nom. bon apetite.

[maxshuty]

LOL! thats awesome

[afterdark123]

just got one of these guys today and i need help . He is about 5 inches long and looks just like the one in the video . Problem is he just swallowed a really large blue angel ( 6 incnes long ) , how he did it i dont know as i was not there when it happened but the angel is gone and i can see the shape of it in his stomach and it was moving in him for a few hours . my question is will the frogfish be able to digest such a big meal and survive

[BrockTheFish]

umm if frogfish eat too much they will die. if hes ok i wuld like you to message me. ive had mine for a few months and i love him

[Lonestarry]

That thing is both beautiful and ugly at the same time. Incredible footage. They have recently discovered a new species of frogfish just off the coast of Indonesia - it's incredible. Bright pink and brown lightning bolt stripes and brilliant turquoise eyes - and a huge round frill that completely encircles it's head. google it and see - just google "new species frogfish and you'll see it.

[master21debater]

i just got one love it and use tongs and put the food in the tongs and ya

[ailenpangwin]

Someone please help me respond!!! i got one of these guys 2 days ago but hes in the tank with a wolf eel 2 lionfish a majestic a clown and a flownder. when i feed ghost shrimp and guppies, everyone gets them before him. i cant seem to get one to him only. ive thought about a divider but i have a 90 gallon. is there a way to get the other fish away or to get him to eat fast!?!?!!

[instantsquid]

It's not really fair to keep frogfish with other fish. For a start, they will try to eat any of their tankmates that fit in their mouths (and they have big mouths). But any fish that are too big to eat will almost certainly prevent the frogfish from feeding itself. Personally I would only ever keep one in a species tank.

[809asphalt]

where did you get him pleas coment back

[instantsquid]

Just a local fish shop - most places can get them to order. Just make sure you get one of the dwarf varieties - there are some huge species of frogfish!

[pat6686]

wow how big is he

[instantsquid]

About 5" from end to end

[littlemercy]

wonderful! It's true that they learn to eat frozen so!

[mistersantosnyc]

Burrp!!!

[chevq]

DANG! thats a huge piece of fish u fed him right there!!! lol.. i want one though

[taserwulf]

Aww, lookit his little fingers stretch out! Hes too cute!

[spaceorbison]

Looks like he burps after he eats it.

[davidy999]

Check out my video, it shows how I got mine to feed on frozen for the first time. ALso, never overfeed them, that's a sure way to kill them. Only one or two pieces of small fish once or twice a week is fine.

[davidy999]

Sweet lure action! I got mine to eat frozen silversides by using a clear plastic pipette/rod and skewer the fish with it, then make it look like it's swimming around the tank. Once the anglerfish notices it I bring it in closer and slowly brush the tail of the fish into the angler's mouth. Once he gets a taste of it he decided to bite.

[MVRP888]

dude how du u hand feed ur frogfish?? mine wont eat dead fishes... also it still wudnt eat went i put it right in front of its face!!

[mercury904]

cool,i had once before but it died after it regurgitated,i dont know why

[mtheartist666]

what device did you use to feed him?

[instantsquid]

Just a wooden stick with the fish stuck on the end. Once or twice he managed to grab the stick as well so had to be persuaded to let go of it.
