Nice
 
That’s a great-looking frogfish. They have so much personality for a fish that mostly sits and waits. The camouflage and those little movements make them really fun to watch. Nice share!
 
That is a handsome little creature!

This does not help with my want to start another tank for the sole reason to keep a frogfish.

Been toying with the ideas of a shallow mixed reef / paludarium w/ waterfall out of a 40G breeder.

You just gave me an idea for a sort of near the beach shallows set up for a waspfish, now I’m fighting the urge to set another tank up 🤣

I was originally thinking a mantis shrimp. but most people say they get boring. i have it all layed out and even got bored with chatgpt

This is similar to what I want to build. Salt creep can be an issue with the water fall but thinking I will use a mister nozzle on my ATO to rinse the waterfall with fresh RO.

I will glue the rock to the back and side walls to make a ledge the whole length of the tank with rock pillars so there is plenty of room underneath and then rump and sump etc

It’s a very cool concept and I would definitely love to see the end product, serpa design on YouTube does a lot of paludaruim videos that might be of help for inspiration for a saltwater version
 
Still goin strong!
His tail came torn and has healed, albeit has a small scar now. But he's so cute 🥺
