Howdy folks,

Has anyone had longterm success with the Angler/Frogfishes before? Had sussed out all the available info of them on the net and available books already..but somehow still can't seem to maintain them. Kept them for few months, healthy and feeding..suddenly, next day gone. :( Sigh..If anyone out there is an enthusiast in this "beautiful" fish too and have kept them successfully, please do share your experiences with me. Would really appreciate it! :)

Bro volitan has got one that eats frozen food...how cool is that. You can check with him. He's been keeping ti for ages liao.

The angler has only been with me for about 9 months, bro Angry. I guess it happened to be quite a hardy fella to be able to withstand "harsh" conditions. :P I have been feeding it with live shrimps before introducing frozen, and have tried to avoid feeding mollies and guppies.

Verrucosa - were there any symptoms prior to the anglers' death? Very unusual that an angler kept for a few months to suddenly die. :bow:

No weird symptoms or anything..

i was really puzzled too. Been thinking of all the possibilities that could have caused it's death so i can avoid the problem again next time. But still no conclusion.

Maybe it's the diet? Some foods might be higher in fat than others? Some food esp FW feeders lack certain nutrition that SW fish need? Maybe the feeding regime? Like lionfish if anglerfish are fed to often they can die of gluttony. :lol:

Always something more important than fish.

I think it is pretty unusual that any LS die all of a sudden without any "advanced notice". If it's not well kept, tell tail signs will normally be exhibited before the LS death. :sick:

I am not denying that feeding could be a problem, though, especially when "marine" live food is scarce, and pple have no choice but to feed their prized possession with FW goldfishes, mollies and guppies.
