Which species?smallest tank for frogfish?
I lost my angler tonight, and I'm a bit heartbroken. I had him for 2 1/2 years. He got a bacterial infection. I tried treating him, but that's likely what put him over the edge.
I made a decision, leave him alone and definitely die, or treat him and possibly die. I treated him. He ate a new addition 2 months ago (too big) and was never the same.
This is my 3rd angler. They all seem to get to the 2 year mark, everything is great and they are growing, then something happens.
How long has anyone had an angler in their tank?
Well you "know" me, I checked my emails, and I actually had this one for about 3 years (got him in June 2017), so I guess I did pretty good. My first warty I had for 2+ years. I also had another generic angler for about 2 years that died in a velvet outbreak.Sorry to hear about your loss, I tried to give you optimistic support, but I knew it was fated. 3 years has been my high mark, I;ve kept 3 that all got to the 2.5 to 3 years mark. I've seen alot around here, I've never met anyone that even kept them as long as a year.

I don't want to be the tang police, but a 170 is way too small for the tang. He will get aggressive and likely pick on the angler who has no real defense.Hi All,
I’d like to get a warty for my new Red Sea 170 coming in soon but I don’t know how well it will fair with a Skeletor moray eel (about 8-inches long) and a Purple Tang (about 2-inches ong). Am I doomed to have something get eaten in that setup?

Unfortunately, the juvenile Purple Tang passed away and the Skeletor eel’s staying put in the QT. The only fish in the RS170 is a neon dottyback (about 2.5”). Will I be able to keep a warty with the dottyback, if the angler’s smaller? And can anglers adapt well in a high flow tank? I’m planning on converting the RS to mixed reef in a few more months, so SPS (ie acros) are definitely included.Am I correct that the Red Sea 170 is 34g. I would seriously rethink your stocking plans. While a warty would be fine, you would be extremely limited for any tank mates.
