The question I have, I heard if you pick a frogfish out of the water they get an air bubble in their swimbladder and it may be fatel. Is this true, and if somone can give me a link to some facts that would be awesome.

Can I also get an Id of this buddy. My local pet store wants 120- US dollars, and hes a little smaller than a tennis ball. Thinking about getting another one, I really like this one, but I want one with a lure.

Does this not have one because its a male? I am thinking of ordering one from online, I would rather get a little one from online for 1/3 of the price and grow it out.

Does anybody know any good online web stores that ship to U.S. I know of Saltwaterfish.com Liveaquaria.com and petsolution.com.

Thanks all. (first post) and I can not wait to get rid of my current freshwater tank and go to the other side and get another FROG____!!!!!!!!!!!
