    I've been having a hard time getting my angler to eat. He only eats ghost shrimp... and then only was eating them if they were running around. So its pretty big news for me today to let you guys no he ate off my stealth stick (look for it on lionfishlair.com) for the first time just now!

    well thats gonna take 3 days lol. The 12g I have him in looks amazing. Its full of pink anthelia and leathers and stuff now. I got some from a buddy in town and its cool. The yellow/orange of my angler really contrasts well.

    I can wait.

    Hopefully he/she doesn't change color to match the corals. sounds sweet though, got a pic of the tank?

    Yeah, I've been thinking of moving everything in my biocube14 to my 45 tall and setting up an angler biotope.

    I just got my first angler a week ago. I'm lucky I guess, mine took silverside chunks from my tongs. He's small, not even 2 inches.
