Freshwater Frogfish

[amazontank]

I was hoping someone can give me the lowdown on these crazy cool fish.
From my research they are totally freshwater and even change color to match the aquarium.
Which would be amazing.
I always wanted another Angler not sure of I should set up a small saltwater tank or just get one of these!


Last photo is what I really want a jet black Angler fish!

Get the Freshwater specie so you don't have to worry about mixing salt for wc's.

I had a Saltwater Angler aka Frogfish yrs ago fascinating to watch walking with its pectoral fins.

Care is similar to regular frogfish, make sure to give them pleasant things to walk/rest on

Yes I think the freshwater Angler could live a long time and would be awesome!

So they would actually live in total freshwater for life or do you think it's really a brackish water fish.
Seagrest farms mentioned that when they imported them they put them in there brackish system but then mentioned that customers were having total success in completely freshwater.
I wonder how big tg they actually can get!

There is a freshwater species,and a brackish type,apparently both can be kept in full fresh.

Do you have any photos of the 2 kinds I been searching and there is not much information on them!

There isn't much info out there,but the true freshwater ones tend to be one color at a time,and the brackish ones tend to have two blotches on them.
