Description

Antennarius species

The Frogfishes or Anglers, Family Antennariidae.Species identifications can be trying, with much confusing overlapping of physical traits, color, and patterns; luckily all these globose animals’ care is similar. Providing cover for perching and cryptic matching is desirable and one constant in their husbandry: they will gladly inhale any/all other tankmates small enough to get into their capacious maws. Yes, they can ingest fishes actually longer than themselves.

Maximum Size: the Antennarius species grows up to 4 inches.

Minimum Tank Size: The Assorted Angler prefers a tank of at least 20 gallons with plenty of places to hide & swim.

Behavior: The Assorted Angler may act peacefully toward other fish.

Water Conditions: Keep water quality high (SG 1.020 – 1.025, pH 8.1 – 8.4, Temp. 72 – 78 F).
