I noticed there are a number of marine tank owners here, has anyone ever kept these guys. I dont know to much about them but i think they are also called angler fish.
I had one once that a mate caught but I didnt get the hardness right and it died after a few months 
It was a little champion it would lure and devour fish 50% longer than it and would swim up to the surface with its mouth almost out of the water when it thought food was available. It was completly fearless and seem to be very intellegent for a fish 
very big pointy teeth too 
Just wondering if you can buy these anywhere or if many ppl keep them?
also what are some good marine forums?
I would have to say they are the most interesting animal i have ever seen.
cheers

Here is a link to a really good Aussie site http://www.masa.asn.au

Oh my mate caught it in a cast net in a .5m of water in a creek on the gold coast at around midnight. I thought it was a stone fish at first my mate thought it was a leaf  we had impared vision at the time it was about 40mm long and ate largish firetail gudgeons. | |
