fragthis Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I was thinking about getting one of these. Does anyone know where I might find one? Or any info on how they do in the reef? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garrett Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Theyre reef safe just not with anything that can fit in their mouth i assume they are coral friendly except i can see them damaging.something if they perch on it for a long while. Most ive seen were at upscales and fantaseas gwts evey now.and again as well. Its a harder fish to take care of and they typically will not eat or they slowly decline in captivity. As long as your preparef to feed live foods you should be okay. I dont havr a wartakin but ive done some research on them. I do have a leaf fish tgough which is similiar in habits. Just be expecting a small challenge and even if they eat doesnt mean theyrw sure fire going to live, upscales had one for four months that randomly killed over whixh ate once a week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fragthis Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 Thanks for the info. I was just going to try and keep shrimp in there for him/her. lol. I was reading that you can feed glass shrimp/amino. Can they go in fresh or salt water? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I feed mine guppies, just because he has a smaler mouth then anglers and is extrmely picky about what he eats, it took me.three weaks without him feeding warts are much less picky as they can eat much bigget prey. Freshwater guppies and shrimp can live maybe an hour or so enough time to be munched Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fragthis Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 Thanks for that info. The shrimp are only .25 so that's not so bad. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Not bad at all and they even got them in petco, wetpets also has feeder guppies 8 fpr a dollar. The only problem is ypu cant useit for a long time food source or theyll lack important vitamins and minerals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fragthis Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 ok. I know Eric at wet pets. I'll take a trip over to see him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alterego Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 you can raise your own live food for them. Mollies acclimate well to saltwater and breed quickly. Your angler gets very little nutrition if you feed it guppies or most other fresh water fish. Try some live mysis if you can find them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachS Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 garrett has 2 of them at premium aquarium (I just bought one friday and he ate today) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gill Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Zach got any pics? EDIT: I found the pic, Dwane is awesome!!!! How big is he?!?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachS Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 he is about 3" I'd say also hard to see in this picture but he has black spots. I've been wanting one for a loooong time now, and garrett had 3 beautiful ones in the other day. I was thinking about getting the black and white one he had but it was so small that I didn't want to chance him not making it so I went with a little bigger one and love him so far.
