Help - My frogfish is floating

Hi Reeflanders

Help, my frogfish is floating! I bought it 2 days ago, and settled it into its tank with a small snowflake eel, and a dwarf lion. Thinking they were hungry looking, I decided to feed them all...

BIG mistake,, the darn thing ate 8 guppies all by itself - not bad considering its only 4 inches long.

Now, this morning, its floating on the water surface. Still in the right position, it just cant swim down. Should I be worried.. Will it poop it out? Or do I need to do something other than being more careful with feeding in the future?

I would just let him digest his food - thats really all you can do at this point. We all learn the hard way.

I had a panther grouper that eat all he could stick in his mouth about $80.00 worth of fish.
