Flashlight fish

[eliterecon14]

Would a flashlight fish be available anywhere, what would the cost be, and would it be fine in my nearly year old tank. I love nearly as much as mandarins.

Boy I hate common names. Unfortunately, there are fish in numerous Genera bearing the name Flashlight fish.

When you state Flashlight fish, are you speaking of an angler, a lanternfish, or a real flashlight fish?

I don't know anything about them, but I do see them on liveaquaria.com (divers den) all the time. It might be worth checking out if you are interested.

Good luck ,

From what I've been told, they do well in groups. They're also very shy creatures, and need low light, and really should have a dedicated species tank (though I would think a mandarin would be alright as a tank mate). They are often found on liveaquaria's Diver's Den in groups, which I think also attests for them being better off that way. In fact, I'm going to stress that I really think they need to be in groups. I imagine they're probably not only found that way, but that they communicate with each other using their bioluminescent patches, and perhaps could become stressed if they keep signaling and no fish signals back.

Temp - liveaquaria lists 72-78 (deeper water species, hence a bit colder water needed)

Any sort of fish I have I pair together or group, 2 pajama cards, 2 dmasels, 2 clowns, 3 micro brittles, 5 tube worms

that sounds like a specialty fish to me.... maybe something that deserves its own special set up
