No luck in changing their diet. Originally, I was using mollies, but I was told that it is not so good to feed them too much fresh water fishes, and further more, the mollies tends to swim near the surface of the water. So I converted to fresh water prawns. I just buy some and dump the whole pack into the water, my froggies will go and chase after them :)

As for the tiny ones, I feed them live brine shrimp and more frequently because brine shrimp is not too substantial. Ocassionally, I will pick the small shrimps for them.

Thanx man.

The tank only have anglers. My percs are in a nano setup just beside my angler tank. Only 1.5 ft but I guess it is okay as the percs are relatively small size. But one of my anglers are always interested in the perc pair, always looking across to the other tank at them... probably thinking they are a nice meal.

I used to have 2 triggers in my angler tank, but one morning when I woke up, I realized that they have become breakfast for my anglers :(

So now I dare not put any other fishes with my anglers.

I lay out my LR with lots of wide spaces, so I can still see them quite well.

Can i feed those silver fish from NTUC supermarket...

Hmmm, perhaps worth a try. I have tried those frozen silver fish sold in LFS (used to be food for my pearl aro), but to no avail. Do keep us posted if you successfully wean anglers into frozen food. :P

Wow, I am impressed... :ooh: I guess your triggers were small enough to fit into the angler's mouth.

As there are other residents housed with my anglers, I cant just throw in the food and expect the anglers to feed, cos the other occupants are just too fast for them. :( So I need to target feed them. Quite a hassle...

Thanx 19percula. Someone once told me that anglers are attractive because they are so ugly, which I agree. :)

Terryz, I read that they are attracted to silvery fishes, you can try wiggling the fish in front of them, that may do the trick.
