Let's see them! Whose got em?!









These are a few of my past ones. The last little red one was a pygmy and was super tiny!

A small colored angler I picked up tonight!

Ooh, is he going in the tank that wasn't set up yet?

How big do pygmy anglers get anyway?

 

[rayn]

He is getting his own tank. Probably going to start out in my little 6 nano till he grows some, then into a bigger tank. My daughter thinks he is cool and wants him in "her" tank.

Pygmy stay small, not sure how much they do get to. The one I had was awesome, quick eater and liked to pose for pics. Little guy jumped on me though. Not sure why as he was the only thing in the tank.

I didn't know they could jump! I learn something new every day.

I didn't either! I didn't even think they would/could as they generally move around on their feet or legs. I still remember finding him. I was all ready to feed him and was walking up to the tank and almost stepped on him!

Ya, they can jump like a pro, as they are made to propel themselves with forceful streams of water.

 

[rayn]

Yeah you taught me that too once it happened.

Antennatus pictus, painted frogfish... to 4". Nice one. Pretty decent sponge mimic.
