Gorgeous, you obviously like ambush predators!

awesome specimen(s)! keep us updated, we've kept several R. frondosa in the past, and unfortunately only get 1 - 2 years out of them (fatty liver disease). good luck!

Wow, what a cool looking fish and I see you have an expensive angler also.

 

[huskerreef]

had a couple for 2 years, nice fish.. any worries about your angler becoming rhino food?

 

[FMarini]

zoinks--- freakin awesome.
where in town did you get that fish?
I was looking all over- just for photos of course.
Congrats on a spectacular R frondosa, be aware that these fish can and will gain and loose color- so if you want to keep that intense purple -find appropriate background material

He just ate a frozen silverside dipped in selcon tonight. Anyone can suggest me other diets? I'm planning to also buy a bunch of chromis to put in the tank also to allow him to eat what he can, but I will also feed him with the stick.

FMarini-I got him from fishland.

 

[rduong89]

anyone?

Fantastic fish. Probably my all time favorite color variation!!!! Well except the aphanes below is a real stunner!!! Great pick up.

These are juicy too!!!! I only had the orange frondosa. IMO one of the most interesting fish to keep in a display. T

The angler looks bite size, but that's an amazing looking rhino!

Great to hear!

He just ate another silverside today. But he won't take it from the stick. Only when it drops onto the sand he would stare at it and gulp it down. Sometime sand would get into his mouth too.

Gorgeous fish!

I just saw one of these for the first time in person. They are truly amazing! I'm going to have to setup a tank for one of these guys. What's the minimum tank size?

eats anything small.

Awesome fish and so happy to see he is eating frozen. Just as a suggestion, I would avoid feeding silversides to the Rhino and all of your other fish as they are nutritionally equivalent to a human eating bigmacs all the time. Best of luck with your fish T
