ok ... hmmm IMO.. for beginners..

1) to get a proper tank with proper setup and let the tank cycle :) ( not toomany in a single tank!!! they are massive shitters )

2) try not to get into veri expensive frogfish like warty etc etc.. but get an angler first which cost a few dollars.. to get experience first

3) study their behaviour and characters and at the same time get used to the setup u are having.. like maintaining correct water paremeters, proper skimate etc etc..

4) feeding ..start off with live food like chromis , damsels or ghost shrimps( not for long term cos lots of fats, ok for now and then ) and slowly wean it to forzens.. it will be more troubles free.........

5) a good size will be around 2.5in~3in to start off with for begineers..

6) IMO when comes to lighting... they dun reali like veri bright lights ... FL shall be ok ...

7) rem lastly not to overfeed...!! for me one feeding every 3to 4 days

the above are based on my own experience.. i believe there are more advises too.. :) hehe take it at ur own risk :P

hopes it helps

cheers :D

Dear all frog lovers,

i need your advice on the resetting of my tank. I currently have a 6ft tank. used to be a coral tank until a mishap happened. most of my corals are dead and my tank looks like a scene in titantic. i gonna throw all my live rocks and sand bed away. however, i need help in setting up my tank. i used to have a few frogsfish in my tank until they got too big and started to eat my purple tangs. i gave them away in the end.

as my start up was done by professionals. i was basically manintaining it . After running thur this forum, the pics here triggered my love for frogfish again....

looking forward to ur help.... thanxxx :rolleyes:

can also consider those bait fish in the fishing tackle shops.

veri sorry to hear ...i know the feeling ......but never give up :D

ok.... firstly u need to ask urself.. the tank when re setup... wat are u going to keep ? reef tank? fowlr? or frogfish tank ..? IMO.. i normally will keep them in a small tank first when i rescape my tank or re setup.. but only for temp.. :P

depending on ur tangs size.. i believe a normal 2 feet tank shall be no problem wif a over head filter running .. shall be able to last a few days .. :D

dun reali know whether my live rocks can be used... cos the rock is covered with green algae..

for sand.. is quite easy.. u going for DSB ? 6ft tank with DSB.hmm quite alot i think :P grade 0 or 1 sand

for salt water.. hmm either u can go for premix salt or nsw... :D

for mixture... sorry not reali sure wat u meant by that .......

for ur LR...... actually there are quite alot of ways to do with it .. for me i would just dip in fresh water .. let it die.. srub it off... and reuse it .cos the dead rocks after some time when placed in re setup tank will live again.. some would suggust using of p04 remover.. reduce light time etc etc ...

hope the above helps ...........

:D

hi bro :D

so i see u got the fishes :D congrats hehe

imo.. ur reef tank sump would be better ... not due to temp but higher flow rate compare to ur fowlr sump/regium design ..... :D
