hi guys ...

one great frogfish book to share..

Recently i've been searching (I bet alot of you are too) for a book call "Frogfishes of the World" by Theodore W. Pietsch and David B. Grobecker; Stanford University Press, Stanford, California. But to my dismay the book was long out of print.

hmm still thinking how to find it ...

cheers

ah shawn....this frog fish is very cute....hard to get in spore.

I heard hk got this breed....but you need to pay higher than what you normally pay in spore.

How about 3 of us plan a fish shopping trip to HK

No problem. To be honest, a 6 footer is too big for a frogfish tank, might as well keep tangs or angels.

Your frogfish tank can be 3x1.5x1.5 ft, at least can partition and keep separate frogfish if you want.

i am visiting the famous street in Hk.
