Angler Fish
Thinking about getting an angler. How does everyone like them? I want something that will really amaze people. Are they not active enough? Any preference on type?

Will the white wartskin lose his vibrant colors? Or will he stay that color?

a 20 gallon will do for a warty
they may change to blend in sometimes but they do stay this color

Do you have your wartskin in a reef tank? I have a 20 gallon reef with other fish but I can put them in my 75 if I can put a wartskin in there
