Angler Fish

[Easton33]

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?

Someone on here has a nice white wart skin angler (orange and white) he has a thread about it, maybe he will chime in or search for his thread

Yeah i think your talking about Tim(or me,IDK),,but anyway..
Here are mine

first one is a white wartskin angler and the other is a painted spotted angler
Not very active ,,but so cool to watch fish and and eat

 

[Easton33]

How big are they?

 

[Easton33]

Frogfish and anglers the same?

 

[FTMMWS]

white warty is about the size of a golfball ,,
the spotted is baseball sized..

So if I had a 20g tank, could I just have one? Or maybe two?

Two would probably eat each other

 

[FTMMWS]

only one ..

 

[Easton33]

Anything with it?

 

[FTMMWS]

No...nothing

 

[Squidy07]

what's the tank size requirement for the wartskin angler?

 

[Saratj1]

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

 

[FTMMWS]

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

a 20 gallon will be fine for a warty

Live Aquaria says 20g for a Wartskin.

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

He's all by himself ,as is the painted ...A reef with just coral is fine or with stars ..No shrimp though..I have also heard of them trying to swallow hermits and snails and dying because of it..
