So I really want a angler fish.. I know he will eat someone his size or smaller.. But if I do get one does anyone know which fish I can accompany him with.. I forgot to mention I have a nana 24g FOWLR tank... TIA

He will eat everything, though I have seen a lobster with one inside a tank before.

A 24 gallon tank isn't meant for anything other than nano sized fish... so unfortunately none.

Hmmmm

It's also pretty hard to feed them if you use feeder fish in a 24 ga. The feeder fish won't like the crazy salinity and you gotta get it to hangout in front of the angler.

Do it like this. It's still awesome with just one fish.

Yeah that's a tough fish always wanted one but just like seahorses it's a commitment to a tank with only him. Personally I think it's one of those things you will get bored of after awhile like lion fish. Cool to watch eat and swim. But if it's your dream fish just do it. But it will probably be the only fish you can have

[MENTION=8193]SC50964[/MENTION] ur tank looks great but at the moment I don't want a coral tank.. [MENTION=2487]BigDaddyStar[/MENTION] I know it's a risk I'll run if I get it I guess I was hoping to hear something different than what I already know.. Thanks for the inputs

It's not mine. Just a real cool tank that I came across.

I killed on. I read that they should be fed 2-3 times a week and another saying daily. I went with 2-3 and it died kinda skinny

a nano should be good for a smaller one, they don't move much

[MENTION=6253]jesuses[/MENTION] is that the only fish u had in there??

 

[jesuses]

Yeah. You can try adding a cheap fish if you really want something else. Like a chromis would look nice and make a good meal lol

 

[SC50964]

Or a molly

The tanks at aquarium of the pacific only have anglers in them and nothing else, I'm sure there's a perfectly good reason for that! Speaking of, I just saw an angler at tongs yesterday just like the one in the above pic, red & yellow. Very cool looking fish

i had that same yellow wartskin for 6 months. I kept him in my fowlr sump and fed him fresh, partially disabled fish (chromis, mollies, goldfish). it maintained a good appetite & grew, but it made vacations hard, so I gave him away before a 3 week vacay.

He used to go freestyle swimming. Watching him angle never got old.
