Toad fish

[daddyo72]

Thalassophryne amazonica . My new fish that I know very little about. Does anyone have any advice about these little guys in regards to feeding them prepared foods?

Wow! That is so cool! How big is it?

 

[daddyo72]

He's five inches and the coolest! I really want to get him on prepared foods.

Are a toadfish and stargazer the same?

They are called by a number of common names, including 'monster fish' or some such. Do be careful with him, though....he does have toxic spines, and while for most people they are simply very painful, some people have a more severe reaction to being stung.
