Anglers?

[fareforce]

Does anyone know much about anglers? They look, and sound interesting. Has anyone had one? How aggressive are they?

I was looking at them on liveaquaria. This one to be exact. (http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_Display.cfm?pCatId=63)

they eat everything and anything that will fit in their mouths.

Also, google.com works.

I know to use google, just wondering if anyone had any personal experiences with them.

Yes, lots of experience. They will eat pretty much any fish that is less than half of their size. Their mouth expands so do not try to judge the size of their prey from mouth size. They will change coloration over time to try and match the decor of their favorite perch. Best way to identify the exact species is by the shape of their lure. They make a good subject for a single species tank and often can be trained to eat silversides.

I just looked at the link.
They would be good in a FOWler tank would they not?

Sounds to me your FOWLR would Be a OFWLR....(only fish with live rock)

[fareforce]

Do you think they would do okay with a dwarf fuzzy lionfish in the tank?
