Yay! Other stingyfish. I <3 my Fuzzy Dwarf Lionfish.

Wart skin frogfish maybe, They can run anywhere from 20-80$ typical price for a reef fish, some can live in small tanks due to the fact they 'walk' with their appendages across the sand, and they can eat something three times their size in one powerful inhalation, about 0.8 of a second and food is gone.

they will camafloge instantly when the move across the tank, they have a great personality and they are a good reef fish (long as nothing fish or shrimp wise) fits in their mouth.

Two specimens may sometimes eat each other,especially if one is smaller, this is probably a mated pair.

I don't think think it's a frogfish. The aquarium claims it is from the family rhinopius, not antennarius. Of course they haven't given any more information than just plain calling it a "rhinopius." It's kind of messing with my innate completism. I also have the problem of lacking experience in marine life due to me spending the majority of my time back in the day at a store that only dealt with freshwater on account of the owner strongly believing your average person off the street is highly incapable of maintaining a proper saltwater ecosystem. Having someone around such as yourself who actually seems to know what they're talking about in this field should be highly productive for me.

It is in the Scorpian fish family, both genus's relate from it, a timed estimate put it's inhalation at .15 milliseconds not 8 seconds lol..

Maintaining a salt water system can be easy going FLOWER (fish only low lighting) and it's mostly the price that stops people, one thing though you have to be very diligent with keeping the system up, it's not too much harder then looking after a large FW tank, more complicated as to what goes in or can't but still easy enough that if you read and reaserach your shit you can do it.

SW systems can be as small as 2 gallons and still contain a fish, the best starting size would be around 30-50 gallons, start with 30 as it will be cheaper.

Of course you need the tank and a stand, a few buckets,digital thermometer and I find for starters an aqua clear 70 works best (filter pump not powerhead)

Then you need to get salt and test kits, I only recommend Instant ocean salt, been using it for years and several major aquariums use it too. http://www.aquaticsexpress.co.uk/sh.....ean%20salt.jpg
You need a test kit for starting out evently you will move to a more acurate brand but for fish only this is fine to start (retails around 80$ covers all tests) http://petgateway.ca/shopping/image.....test%20kit.jpg

You going to want to get a refractometer, this will be in the range of 50$ for a good one, if you can't find a decent one I can get and ship you one, this will measure the salinity (how much dissolved salt is in the water) doctors also use this exact device to check the quality of other body fluids http://ottawainverts.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=568_53&products_id=309

then your going to need some aragonite sand, and some Korralia's but if you want more details contact me.
