    I totally agree, after many years of fish keeping you find yourself drawn to rarer or more unusual fish, one salty I’d love to have are Japanese Spiny Lump fish, the cutest fish ever IMO.

    The Common short-fin molly (Poecilia sphenops) can be adaped to salt water full term, maybe get some adults that can breed in there so there is babies he/she can pick off.

  • @joestewart6420
    @joestewart6420 10 місяців тому +7

    Sailfin Mollies are brackish and can be transitioned to saltwater. you could have a small breeding tank of them and feed the frog fish the molly babies. since theyre more durable to salt than guppies, you could leave them in longer.

    I’ve only just seen this fish for the very first time today here in the UK, on a tv program called “plant earth 3” by Sir David Attenborough. It was showing The clown frogfish in the reef hunting with its shrimp like rod. It was really fascinating to watch.
    Then I come on youtube tonight and you have the same kind of frogfish. So I’ve now seen 2 in the same day. 😂

    You're lucky you decided to buy a fish like that. Many years ago my ex husband was convinced to buy this fish for me saying it was a freshwater frogfish. It wasn't. I didn't even know if it was kept in fresh or not because he just bought it home. He doesn't ask questions. If anything it pissed me off because I knew what I was looking at was a saltwater fish and I only had a fresh and brackish water systems set up. At that time I didn't even think of testing the bag water to see what salinity it was. First problem misstep. I automatically started acclimating it to my brackish tank. Floating and then drip acclimating. Poor fish lasted just over a week. I told him to never bring another fish home without talking to me first. He brought another fish home after that needed crazy cool temps when all my tanks run tropic. That fish also died because, naturally, I didn't have a cooler. Thankfully he never brought another fish home. My current husband says all pet things are all on me unless I ask for help. At least I know he won't bring home sometime I can't take care of with what I have on hand.
    Plus your frogfish is just the cutest! I love the high contrast of red on white! You are so lucky!
