- goo.gl/JhsfPP A species-specific aquarium is a great way to expand your fish collection and is surprisingly affordable. Simple equipment like canister filters, low output lighting and small tanks are often all you need to make the perfect home. It also gives you the opportunity to keep and collect some of the most unique and captivating animals found in our oceans. In this Marine Depot video installment, we set up a species-specific aquarium for a Painted Frogfish. You'll also get to see it "fish" using its rod and lure to catch prey!

This fish is awesome! It's a shame they eat everything :(
What type of tank is that at 0:46? It is beautiful. Perfect for pipefish or seahorses or both!
Hi I am big fan of your videos and also I love your store. What kind of light is the one you are using for your 10 gallon ?- I have a 10 gallon and I am using a Wave-point 12-Inch 16-Watt Super Blue and Daylight-micro Sun LED High Output Clamp Light 10000, I would like to buy it it looks way better I do keep a few corals Kenia coral tree- Anemone and 1 xenia and 2 clowns. Please advise and thank you for sharing your videos.
@mitian Excellent! Please let us know if you have any additional questions. We are happy to help!
Thank you very much for your prompt response, I will be checking the lights shortly, that way I can buy the proper light, and I will do that from your store.
@mitian Thanks for the compliments! The light used in the video is one of the Lifegard LED lights. They have three models depending on the output you need. I linked all three of them below for you to browse. Let us know if you have more questions.

What is the brand and model aquarium for the "slanted bow front" tank that is used for the seahorse and pipefish tank? (first shown at :43 in the video). Thanks!
@SparkssYT That is one of our customers tank and it is a custom made aquarium; I am not sure of the exact manufacturer. You can check out his tank profile via the link below.

That's awesome.
At around 2:26, there seems to be another fish in there too? Is that fish gonna be ok?
@Haig James Toutikian Well, we are keeping our fingers crossed and have been feeding the Frogfish heavily. The Frogfish is still a little small and the owner of the Frogfish, Joseph, has plans to move him into a larger tank when he gets a little larger and accustomed to aquarium life.
