frog fish/angler

[RADERBY]

I am looking to stat a species tank, can I please get some recomendations on where to buy these fish on line. Thanks

Live aquaria has some nice anglers in there divers den right now.And they are one of the best online to order live stock from. There customer service is perfect.

I prefer to get anglers locally for a couple reasons:

1) They can be poor shippers

2) Unless you are ordering WYSIWYG fish, even the best online stores tend to misidentify angler species

I agree liveaquaria is a good choice, but I notice outside Diver's Den, they don't currently have any anglers in stock.

You could try marinedepotlive.com, they do seem to have them in stock.

One option if your store isn't so great - ask them to order for you and notify when the shipment arrives. Take the fish in the bag home immediately, avoiding exposure to their tanks, and just the stress of one acclimation. If the order comes in with their fish, you won't be charged shipping.

Personally, I'd spend the $$ and go with a reputable online store with a decent guarantee like liveaquaria, reefhotspot or marinedepotlive.
