Default Coolest fish I have ever owned

I thought I would share my cute little fish, I currently have three Rhinopias Frondosa and a warty frogfish. I definitely recommend these fish for anyone wanting something different and unique in their tanks. The Frogfish is getting his own tank, and the Red, Brown and Yellow Rhinopias will be staying together in an upgraded tank once on frozen.Hope you like the pictures

Yes very cool but don't typically last long in captivity.

Saw this at a pet store recently with 1000 price tag

Crazy looking fish, how often are you feeding them?

That purple is amazing, they usually go for high prices like that, I was quoted 2800 for a purple one in December from an online vendor- makes you pause at that price!

haha John I already have an order in for a purple, Ill find out in the next two weeks if it has come in- CANT wait!

I feed them 3 times a week, right now unfortunately still on feeders and not eating frozen but they will get there. They really are amazing fish with a lot of personality, they follow me around the tank and come to my hand- just like venomous aquatic puppies.

I take a million videos of them and just recently was able to catch them yawning on video, I sat ready and watching for over an hour last night.

Gut loaded ghost shrimp, I have freshwater feeders as well- but its not healthy for them to eat them long term. The Angler eats off a stick now the Rhinos are just a bit slower taking to frozen foods.
