jumpinjoker August 22, 2012 Share August 22, 2012 I caught one in a crab trap in the canals of Ocean City and would like to know if anyone has kept this pollution tolerant fish before? My mom is only letting me keep him because he's so ugly its unusual. and I know the spines on the dorsal fin are venomous. The picture I put is not mine and will post one of mine soon.

smallreef August 22, 2012 Share August 22, 2012 (edited) I had a gulf toadfish....for about 2 weeks in my 150g predator tank... they HUGE mouths and can easily swallow large fish..mine only lasted 2 weeks as he attempted to eat my foxface who was about 7inches long and suffocated on him (or died from the venomous spines) either way would never put it in with other fish...except maybe a very large grouper Edited August 22, 2012 by smallreef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L8 2 RISE August 23, 2012 Share August 23, 2012 Don't know how big the one you got is, but I've seen them kept in captivity and they get HUGE, so definitely a species only or VERY large fish tank. Shouldn't be too hard to keep alive though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToddR August 23, 2012 Share August 23, 2012 I've caught one in the bay that exceeded a foot in length. The Chesapeake Bay Society had one in a 125 on Smith island that ate everything in the tank in two weeks!!!!! Even the other toadfish!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
