about angler fish

Post by starwave »

Hi
I had one of these in a 20 gallon tank around 15 years ago, with a couple of other fish, but I've got no idea what they were now.
Are these anglers still around, I haven't seen one since, maybe I just haven't been to the right place.
Mine sadly passed away after about 2 years, it got sick.

Does anyone keep them nowadays?
It's still one of the most fascinating fish I've ever had the pleasure of owning.
Cheers

I'm guessing you're referring to the angler fish as in the frogfish, not the deep-sea anglerfish. They're still available, although not many people keep them in stock. I think they're a species that's best kept on their own, but they're awesome to watch, especially when they use their lure to catch prey.

That's the one, Frog fish, they're a great oddball salty. I'm not into marine anymore, but if I was, I'd definitely want another one of these, they're just so unique and fascinating to watch.
