thinking about getting a frogfish for my 75! i have a twinspot wrasse...an atlantic blue tang...a snowflake..and a sleeper goby!!! any suggestions about keeping them and compatability with what i already have? thanks

i believe a frog fish will eat anything it can get into it's mouth. I saw one try to eat a yellow tang.

pretty much needs a species only tank. in a 75, there isn't much that would fit in the tank that wouldn't get eatan.

Agreed. What about a bigger eel than a snowflake like a zebra? Snows are pretty thin.

you may also have difficulty feeding a frog fish as they are ambush hunters, the faster fish like the wrasse would grab all the food before the frog would get it.

what everyone said, plus re-emphasizing the "no space" issue.

No, it's so patient it would eat the wrasses.
