I'm in the market for a frogfish. Have a 15 gallon (species only) set up and hooked into my main display. This is my next fascination in the reeling world and have been doing a lot of research(quest) to find just the right specimen. I really would like something different like a striated or hairy frog but am also up for perhaps a warty with bright or nice coloration. Preferably one that is a bit larger. Have not seen any hairy's and a lot of the colorful ones are smaller. Would like to see some frogs that anyone has and what options might be available. Curious if anyone knows where a hairy might be available or if at all.
 
I think a 15g is too small for most froggies. Even if they don't move much, they need a little space. Hooking it into the main display is a good idea given how messy they are, though, and I'm pretty sure there are some tiny varieties.
 
I find the frogfish with active lures (as opposed to ambush predators) that hunt are the most interesting. As mentioned above, IMO, tank size is a bit small for a frogfish.
 
Gotcha on the tank size! I'm really interested on some options on retailers for these guys other than LA which by the way have a few right now. Just wondering if there are other options?
