Feeding our Oyster Toadfish

[lmm1967]

Took the time to finally put together footage of us feeding our Oyster Toadfish. Came in as a hitch hiker on live rock in September, 2016.

Here he is the day we discovered in a box of live rock.

And here is a video of him eating in June, 2018.

Jump to 5:25 in the video to skip the boring part. Embedding here won't seem to take my starting position.

Very cool!

It’s great that you set up a place for him, and kept him. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks - We do our best to keep and care for pretty much anything we put in our tanks - except for the vey worst hitch-hikers like flatworms.

Just for scale, how big is the Pvc pipe he stays in? Is that 4"?

That is pretty dang cool, glad you kept and cared for him/her instead of just dropping it off at a lfs!

That is surprisingly a very beautiful fish. Thanks for sharing

Beautiful fish. Warms my heart that you have taken care of him so well even though he was a hitch hiker. Does it have a name?

 

[OriginalUserName]

Wow, he's pretty. Nice find.

I used to have a few of these little guys... some friends in grad school did work on them and there were always a bunch of babies available. :0) They were so fun to keep and very cool looking! Nice to see someone keeping them in their systems.
