    You guys couldn't have said it better!! The impulse to buy a fish for your tank without researching it first is something a newbie or[ maybe just me] has done because of what were told by the lfs. I'm finding out that some lfs care's more about making money then they do there fish ,and by asking even the right Q.'s don't mean your going to get the right answers. I've learned something today [without the yelling]research for yourself don't always take the word from the lfs.
    Karma to the both of you !!

    Never seen an angler but my lfs normally has frogfish for sale, they are the same family. And they are really cool!! I'd love to get one but i know it would eat everything in my tank!

    I think that is pretty cool, I take the opportunity to express my self, that always been my dream, to have a tank with no more than that kind of fish
    Anglers, lion, frog fish of different kinds morey eels rock fish and so on, they are probably reef safe, but I just wonder which be the last fish standing...lol
