What do u feed ur angler and how did u train him to eat frozen foods?

It was pretty easy actually ,,,took about a week..i started of with chrmois and i would put the straw in at the same time so he'd get used to ...
He eats krill,scallops and table shrimp,,and I still give him a chromi or 2 every other week...,he's pretty cool

 

[DxVega]

Ok sounds simple enough...thank you oh and what kind of angler do you have

 

[scubasteve03]

Wow man anglers or so cool good job training it man

 

[SteveFishman]

That's so cool!!!!

 

[FTMMWS]

Thanks guys ,,he really is fun to watch ..He changes colors too(actually they all do,,they blend into things around them)
Dx, he is a spotted angler

 

[DxVega]

Oh ok well yours is really nice.... im in the process of training my own he is very tiny about a half inch

 

[DxVega]

Oh yea what would be a good size tank for him

 

[dollabill420]

That's awesome how he was trying to lure the food in with his dangley thing lol

 

[FTMMWS]

He's in a 30 gallon ,,which is about as small as i'd go for one his size...once he gets bigger i'll set-up a 75 for him...
Yours would be ok in a 20 maybe even a 10 if he's that small...just have lots of LR in there..

 

[DxVega]

Ok thank you i appreciate it

 

[FTMMWS]

thought i would put up a new pic of this guy...I'm starting a new tank with another angler ..should have it today

 

[EriksFish315]

There one ugly awesome fish. Lol.

 

[FTMMWS]

Wait till you see the new one,

 

[EriksFish315]

Can't wait... How do these fish act?

 

[FTMMWS]

Can't wait... How do these fish act?

Like a rock...,
Not much swimming if any,,they sorta hop and crawl around..Feeding them is the most excitement you'll see from them..I just love em though,,very strange looking and odd..Not really a tank you'll sit and stare at for an hour like you would with other fish,but i think they are just too cool not to have one,,or 2
I do plan on making the new tank more of a mini reef,,duncans,rics,mushrooms,zoas,hammers,,easy stuff that doesn't require tons of light
