Went to AquaMarin today...wanted to catch a glimse of the hot red painted frogfish...but already sold.

Anyway notice 2 nice warty - (brownish) and (blackish green) abt 1.5 to 2.0 inch.

Those interested, may want to take a look.

Tuna: you confirm can bring in 30 fishes or not more than 3 litre of water from overseas? i dun wanna be blacklisted by AVA.

.........I wonder how some people think..3 liter of water is like so pathetic...that's only the volume of 2 1.5 liter coke bottles. If the fish is large, I pity it.

[illusionist]

heh..that's true...i guess that limits not just the size but also the amount that you can bring in. we're too strict sometimes dun you think? fishes dun eat drugs so we cant smuggle drugs in??

Sump: How to drill all the stuff? i have totally no idea.

Lights:What kind of lights should i get and what is it's cost? i keep seeing all these t5 e-ballast sorta terms but i dun understand them.

Filter: What filter to use? hang on back?

[yellowfin tuna]

Hi guys,

trip report...

fell in love with their yellow tangs... reali big... most of their fish are very,,, now abit swayed... dunno wat to keep....

the LR are reali nice and they are all cleaned and best of all they are tonga rocks... like you say lester, the price abit high,,, $16,,,,

Bottom line is i will buy them,,, going down on fri to pick..

A few pointers... the guy say that my

1)sand bed can remove if not needed

2)LR should be down before the sand so that the structure will be stable

3)only a filter wool is enough, the bio-ball, chips, ceramic rings are not needed

Guys, can comment???

[acidjazz]

I am sending this message from Hong Kong now.

I only manage to see ONE frogfish in the entire street that deals with marine fishes.

If u are looking for frogfish in HK, dun waste ur time.

Looks like not many interested in frogfish in HK.

Maybe you can bring back some of those large sun corals.

[Lester]

hi guys.. got some info tat may be a great help to newbies

the 10 facts to know before buying

cheers

1) what would be a good sized tank for a single frog that gets no bigger than 5"? 6"? 8"?

20 to 40 gallons would be nice for a 5", more as the size goes up

2) which frogs max at said size (5,6,8")?

Most commonly available would be Antennarius maculatus (wartskin - to about 4"), A. pictus (painted), A. multiocellatus (longlure), A. nummifer (Coinbearing), A. coccineus (freckled or scarlet) all grow to about 5", A. striatus (tiger or striated) and A. hispidus (hispid or shaggy) get to around 6 or 7"

3) how fast do they grow? (1"-5" 5"+)

Juvies can grow to adult size in a year. It is dependent on the quality and frequency of feeding (recommended: twice a week), water quality, tank temp.

4) what is a good aquascape for them? (asumnig a sand bed with some rocks for it to hide on, does the sand and rock have to be alive?)

If it is not, it will eventually be alive. I'd stay away from aggressive LPS (frogspawn, torch, hammers) and anemones. Frogfishes will knock over frags. Plastic decor is actually quite acceptable

5) can they change there color or pigment?

Yes, and quite rapidly too.

6) what are good live foods? non live? i heard feeding fresh water fish to them is bad?

Goldfish and rosy reds contain Thiaminase which inhibits thiamine (vitamin B1) metabolism. Freshwater feeders also have a lipid profile that is not ideal for marine predators. Guppies and mollies are marginally better. F/W ghost shrimp are pretty decent too. Live marine shrimp (farmed) may be the best as live baitfish may harbor parasites.

7) im asuming no other tank mates other than frogs since they can and will try to eat anything smaller to equal size and i dont want a tank that would fit a larger fish.

Pretty much

8) are they poisonus to the touch? or have poison in there fins/skin?

Not venomous. Reputed to have toxic flesh. I've not eaten one.

9) what salinity? ph? hardness? do you keep your tanks at?

I prefer 30 (1.022) and 8.2

10) any good facts or personal exp/stories to sway me into it or away from it

Don't skimp on equipment. Get a good skimmer.

hi

1)sand bed can remove if not needed

hmm personally i prefer DSB than BB ..lots of debate have been going on ..

2)LR should be down before the sand so that the structure will be stable

he got a point too but since ur SB is aready in .. no choice:D hehe actually dun reali make much different.. mine is sand in first then LR ..

3)only a filter wool is enough, the bio-ball, chips, ceramic rings are not needed

hmm u got o understand the function for the boi balss, chips etc etc ... can be done provide u have a reali powerful skimmer running

cheers
