    Wow. Beautiful fish! What do you feed him? I can imagine a live feeding would be a spectacle!

    2 or 3 of the same size will eat each other. You can only have 1 in a tank. There eyes are much bigger then their stomach. My LFS put 2 wart-skin anglers in a tank together. One that I ordered and one that they were going to sell to someone else. I go to pick mine up and they can only find mine in the tank. When you looked the tail of the other one was hanging out of his mouth! Another problem with this is that they actually will kill themself eating each other. They are unable to digest something that big and will die a couple days later!
