Black with orange spots is always a baby painted angler (Antennarius pictus). It looks like this right? I say go for it. Anglers are awesome little fish. Link to comment

Anglers are awesome little fish. I am going at 10AM sharp tomorrow to look at it, but it fits the description. They didn't specify juvenile, and I know some a. commersoni anglers can be black with orange spots (according to frogfish.ch), but it is one of those. Either way, I want it bad. After the video of blobbasaurus nomming down that chromis, I was like WTFBBQ I NEED ONE. Link to comment

I can't even fathom how awesome my little guy is going to be when he's the size of a football and can swallow a mackerel (or possible a chicken) whole. Link to comment

jedimasterben Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I looked at the site again once I got home (I was on my phone earlier) and you're correct - it is probably a painted angler if it is a juvenile, if it isn't, it may be a warty, as well. Either way, want. The wife will absolutely, 118.6% NOT approve of it, but #### it, it's gotta happen. Link to comment

Bongo Shrimp Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Ok I'm sorry but I can't stand it. I appreciate being able to finally be able to see the tank but can we try to get a horizontal video? iPod Nanos can't take horizontal videos. Please don't hurt me? Link to comment
yoshii Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Bongo, she's using her ipod nano, I don't think it can record the video that way Link to comment

I swear I read it on occasion I'll go check it out again Whoever came up with the common name "Flame Algae" for Halymenia has never seen that Eucheuma!! The tank looks sooo nice! I'm hoping the eucheuma does well. I ordered it for the dwarf tank to test the theory about cooler water keeping it yellow, but I didn't think they'd send me so much! Ok I'm sorry but I can't stand it. I appreciate being able to finally be able to see the tank but please: Please don't hurt me? I have a 3 year old ipod nano (the very first one to come with a video camera). If it turn it sideways the video goes sideways... Bongo, she's using her ipod nano, I don't think it can record the video that way I can't Ok I didn't know. Never mind. If I ever make it to CA I'm giving you a camera. Srsly.
