Mike Bartick Manny-Moe and Jacky..I have watched these three Giant frogfish (Antennarius commersoni) for close to 16 months. The red one in the middle is the female Jacky, and the bookends are the males Manny and Moe.
Females dont normally behave well socially and will only let a male suitor close to her if he is the finest male in all of the land. I have not yet been able to capture them spawning but one of these nights i will....
