Need help on where I should buy frogfish

[woven1web]

I wanted to know if anyone has bought a frogfish online and if they have had success..

I bought my first frogfish (striated) from the LFS and he lasted a week. He was eating fine, 3 ghost shrimp a day, and then WHAM this morning he was gasping at the bottom, swam sporadically around the tank for a few minutes, dropped to the bottom, and that was that... he died.

So, needless to say I am not going to buy my next frogfish from that LFS. Any success stories out there on frogfish purchases from Online stores, like liveaquaria.com or marinedepot.com...??

if he was eating fine and then you said he was gasping for air i think it was something with your tank. did you check water params after he died? might have been unrelated to the health of the fish.
