Does anyone have photos of pregnant frogfish/angler fish such as the one seen on my site here: http://www.gordonious.com/ ??? I am curious if mine either has a funky growth on the bottom of it, if it may have swallowed more then it could handle, or if it might be pregnant.

No sorry, I don't. Is it floating... or look like it is close to floating?
How long have you had him/her?

I have had it about a month and it still sinks to the bottom like it is supposed to.

It's living inside my frogfish!!! (http://forum.marinedepot.com/Topic65595-10-1.aspx)

DT?
I have figured out that it is likly some sort of isopod. Tomorrow a little more research and perhaps an attempt to remove it.
