violence Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Got a frog fish over the weekend as well as 3 chromis for it to eat. However the chromis refuses to go near the rock area where the frogfish is and are hiding behind the pipes/overflow box. Tried to give it market prawn but the frogfish blew it away. This morning the frog fish climbed onto the pipe/overflow box to attempt to bait the fish but the chromises are not biting. Any advice?

divinesloth Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Let nature run its course. I usually use damsels. The Chromis that I get tend to die too easily. Quote Why all the venom? Reefing is just a hobby, dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acclimatise some black molly for your frogfish to consume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member BFG Posted July 2, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted July 2, 2010 As in freshwater black molly? how long can it last in SW? Originally, mollies are brackish water fish. The old bird that told me to relay the message had kept mollies in reef tank and the mollies bred in full saltwater tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member dieran_green Posted July 2, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted July 2, 2010 most "longkang" feeder fishes are brackish in nature, so they can survive in saltwater. In fact they can help control unwanted algae. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
