How to decorate a tank for a frog fish?

jeweljelly · Oct 27, 2020

I've been thinking about getting a frogfish. I have chosen the Fluval Sea Evo Saltwater Fish Tank Aquarium Kit but I'm not sure how I can decorate it.

Please help me by giving me links to coral, rocks etc that will be suitable for my fish!

Since they don’t really swim too well, I would keep your rock scape lower and add shelf ledges that the fish can kind of “step” up.

The nano shelf rock kit from Marco would be a great choice.

What size tank are we talking and which species are you interested in.

As far as corals go lps corals do well as many will enjoy the nutrients. The do swim by using their jet packs and some like being high up to scout the tank for prey. Some like hanging in a cave so provide at least one suitable size cave and overhangs. Not too much flow but fine for lps and not too high light but fine for lps. Colors to match the color of the angler if you want him to keep his color, they will imprint the color scheme of the tank to blend in for camo.

Tap some of my threads for feeding and nutritional tips, if your 1st order of business is to "train your angler" to dead food, don't expect to keep him that long.
