Great new addition Andy!
He's got fantastic colours, doesn't quite look real!

My girlfriend described him as looking like "an evil rhubarb and custard sweet".

I think she's got a point.

I have to agree, they are unusal looking things, I have never seen one before of either species.
Nice looking sweetie, lol!

So is he a breed of frog, or is he a breed of fish that has the name frog in it?

He is a breed of fish that has the common name of frogfish. The name frogfish applies to all of the Family Antennariidae. He is from the Order Lophiiformes, which includes the deep sea anglers and viperfish (known for glowing in the dark rto attract prey with a similar lure system that employed by the frogfish). In fact, one of my previous frogs (Antennarius hispidus) can have bio-luminescent bacteria in its lure.

Its metal not plastic lol. Lighting unit can be moved into middle of hood, loads of room.

Will try and build filter up and have a play about I think. Its going to take a week to suss putting filetr together lol. The pipe is one peice and it has to be cut in the middle to make 2 (why they dont just do that I dont know!)

God I wish I never bothered now but want best filter.

That is so cool,

Most frogs are undemanding with a number of successful keepers maintaining them in bare bottom tanks with live rock and aggressive skimming. If you wanted to be perfect, you could look for some sargassum and keep histrio histrio amongst it, though even these do fine in a general FOWLR style tank.

No name for him yet, not until he eats.

Someone on another forum mentioned he looks like he has been drizzled with raspberry sauce.
