Looking for an angler

[AbsoluteFaye]

So I setup my species only angler tank a while ago and I'm looking for a perfect angler. I'm in the central NJ area but willing to travel or have fish shipped. I'm really interested in a wartskin (just not yellow) or a bright colored angler. I used real reef rock in my tank and black sand so I need the fish to really pop. If anyone knows of any please let me know. Thanks!!

Check out Coral Theory. They are vendor on this forum and just got in several great looking anglers

Thanks! I'm new to this forum. And I already messaged them. Just waiting for the response. Lol. They have a pink one that I want.

Welcome to MR! The angler tank looks great! A pink one will really pop against the black sand. Best of luck getting the fish you want

Fauna in nyc trained an angler to eat frozen (they have done this a few times which I bought. Contact them!!!

My other angler was strictly eating frozen. But he had a weird seizure thing and jammed himself into rocks and died. But yeah I'll check them out, thx.

It's actually quite easy to train an angler to eat frozen... Especially if you are shoving it in it's face.

Anglers will accept any food that you dangle in front of it, and they will accept force feedings as well. Not a difficult fish to feed, just tedious.

But definitely give a call to Coral Theory. It's probably easier to call them up and speak to someone rather than waiting for a PM. Especially if you are looking to purchase and travel there... Otherwise someone else that's in the shop/or travelling to may already have that same angler in mind and you can beat them to it (because they did not call ahead).

Try aquatic obsessions, they had a red one and a wartskin last time I was there. Also I saw a black and orange one at animals and things. I don't normally buy fish related items there.
