Red/Orange Wartskin Anglerfish

Antennarius Anglers should be added to well established aquariums with plenty of rock work, caves, cracks, crevices, a sandy bottom as well as ledges for perching and hunting. Antennarius Anglers will hunt and eat crustaceans, and any benthic small fish they can catch. A diet of live meaty foods should be provided, however be careful to not overfeed. Anglers have been known to consume fish twice their size. Antennarius Anglers have the ability to change color blending into its surroundings which may enhance their hunting abilities.
