Anglerfish For Sale

Aquarium Creations Online sells quality saltwater aquarium Anglerfish that originate in the North Atlantic sea such as the Wartskin Anglerfish, the Sargassum Angler fish, Striated Angler, and beautiful solid colored anglers including striking colors such as red, orange, and yellow. Be cautious when selecting the size of your anglerfish because they are able to catch suprisingly large prey. The female anglerfish attracts it's prey by dangling a fleshy, bait-like appendage in front of their heads waiting for their dinner to be attracted. If their catch is large their jaws are capable of spreading apart their thin, flexible bones. Then their stomach can expand tremendously to allow the larger catch to be swallowed. The combination of these features makes it possible for the Anglerfish to swallow and digest fish twice their own size..

When the leaf fish is close enough, the prey is sucked in by a sudden opening of its mouth.
