Recommended Posts

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?

Got an old bird contacted me to relay this message to you. Acclimatise some black molly for your frogfish to consume.

As in freshwater black molly? how long can it last in SW?

mollies and guppies can live in saltwater if acclimatized slowly.

in fact, i wanna try an SPS tank with guppies :) lol

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.
