Unlike Adam's wimpy frogfish mine would not put up with the flashy colors of the clowns. They would soon be frogfish food.
I guess it depends on how big the clowns are and how small is the angler, or I guess if you buy a wimpy fish like Adam then you don't need to worry about it.

I went to several wholesalers in LA.... hand picked the best frogfish in the country. Tickled the belly of the fish Jake ended up buying.
My frogfish did leave my anemonefish alone.... but hey you never asked me if he was compatible with triggers and puffers. Maybe he doesn't waste his time on wimpy fish.

I'm reviving this thread to see if any of you current frogfish owners have any suggestions on how to get my new frogfish to eat... Feeder guppies didn't work, Krill on a feeder stick put him to sleep. Any other ideas?
Maybe he's just holding out for a weaker frogfish to come along, then he will attack and devour him...

I have been using silver sides. You can easily break them in half while they're still frozen and use the tail end to lure with. Don't put the fish right in front of the frogfish. Make it come to you.
Have you tried ghost shrimp?
Once they're trained to eat, you may not even need a feeding stick. I just drop food near my frog fish and he will catch it before it hits the bottom!

I can't even get my dog to do that!

I picked up some silversides last night, I'll try those when I get home from work tonight. Also, I've been looking for ghost shrimp, but haven't been able to find any down in Utah County... We'll see how the silversides work.

 I guess my frogfish wasn't as strong as I though he was after all. I went home for lunch to find him on my chocolate chip stars dinner plate. I'm really debating whether I want to try another one, or if I just want to give up on the whole frog fish thing for a while

Well at least Shawn at Aquatica is cool and gave me some store credit for it (since it died within the first 5 days) that definitely helped with the sadness of paying a bunch for a fish only to loose it... I'd rather the fish than credit, but sometimes you gotta be happy the store backs what they sell.
