Angler in 24g nano

[inevitable_101]

Hi everyone,

Does anyone with a nano have any experience with an angler in a nano?If so,what othere fish do you have with it?Do you guys think a 24g nano is too small for it?I currently just have a maroon clown fish and snails.Opinions welcome.

btw..Im planning on going to a 50g or larger by june.

It looks like from Liveaquaria that they need at least a 20 gallon tank.

yeah,I checked there also.I have a 24 and planning to move to a 50g or larger soon.Does anyone have any experience with one in a nano?

Some of the smaller species, in a dedicated tank, can work.

I would just be worried of it eating the clown.I am going to look at my lfs tommorow see if I find an angler smaller than my clown.

 

[Innovator]

I wouldn't house one with any other fish unless very large and fast (tang size) and especially not in a nano. Dedicated tank only for that size

i have no experience but from what i have read, anglers will eat anything they can fit in their mouth, even to the point where it may fit in their mouth but too big to swallow and they choke to death. Not the most intelligent fish me thinks. I agree with Innovator, dedicated only, and be sure to do plenty of research before your purchase.

ok,I will have to hold off on that fish until I get a bigger tank.I can dedicate the nano to the angler.

what about eels?maybe a snowflake eel?

 

[Innovator]

A snowflake gets too large, but a dwarf eel would fit, if you're willing to pay the hefty price tag. I think I've mentioned the name (common and scientific) in this forum if you Search for 'dwarf eel'...something similar

 

[inevitable_101]

yeah I know which one your talking about.I could get a new tank for that price.lol
