skulls_and_sparrows Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Thought I would share this kind of fun photo of my angler with a bit of meal still not quite finished (its not gross I promise)...I fed him a ghost shrimp tonight it was as big as he is (which is not big, about the size of a half dollar) and while he managed to eat the shrimp in one bite, he could not get the antennas fully down just yet...so they are just sticking out of his mouth as if its normal, LMAO. Figure I would take a pic, and share it. I apologize for the photo, he is in a little 2 gal pico for the moment (the frag tank gets here this week and that is where he will be moving to), so there is just a false wall with an overflow in the back and a heater, no filters, pads or anything, so it makes for stuff in the water... So here is Caption Fugly and his almost finished dinner... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raamiah Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 That's awesome! It looks like he's chewing on some straw or a toothpick or something after a great meal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was originally planning a FW planted tank but I keep seeing these awesome anglers...... Get an angler there is a sweet one on divers den!!!!! And he's a good size....I can tell you a bit bigger is way better then small, mines cool cause he is so tiny, BUT food choices are super limited because he is so small...so one that is 2.5-3" would be a good size! You'll love it!!! Sent from my SGH-T959 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a lot of flow through the sump...They do.NOT do well with flow as they don't swim at all really... I wouldn't banish these cool guys to a sump...but that's me...

impur Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Not to mention where are you going to topoff your tank? Where will you dose? These anglers are sensitive, they are hardy, but sensitive if you are dosing things and/or changing the SG by topping off your tank in the area they are trying to live.
