Info
A photo of a live frogfish is currently not available, and the size information on the tiny frogfish varies greatly.
FishBase gives a maximum length of 3cm, the following information is given under the two photos by Jack Randall:
Animal from the Midway Islands: 4.2cm SL and 5cm TL
Animal from Johnston Atoll: 7.2cm SL and 9.3cm TL
SL = standard length (length of a fish from the front end of the animal to the base of the caudal fin)
TL = total length (greatest length of the whole body between the foremost point of the body and the rearmost point, in a straight line across the body)
There is also no reliable information about the food spectrum (probably small fish and invertebrates) or the biology of the small frogfish,
let alone about keeping it in a reef aquarium or a fish-only aquarium.
