The smallest frogfish EVER!!!!

Jacob042426 · Oct 27, 2012

So a couple days ago, my brother and I went on our kayaks to get some shrimp out of the sargassum to feed our frogfish. we pulled a clump out and some shrimp fall out and what seemed to like like a little booger, but then it started moving...

hes been happily eating pods and we hope to raise him to adulthood. it'll be pretty cool to watch him grow up.
here is a video, I made a youtube account just for this.:thumb:

That is awesome! I have hand caught a lot of weird fish similar to frogfish, just while being in the ocean at The Outer Banks.

i think its been feeding off of the rest of his yolk, and eating pods. i caught some mysid shrimp, so hopefully he eats it.
