Sargassum angler

[fishlvr10]

Hey MFK, I was out in Galveston Island yesterday and came across two Sargassum anglers in the seaweed. I scooped em up and lugged em home, they are now in my 72 gal fowlr with my Humu trigger but I have a few questions...
1) If he doesnt accept my frozen brine in the next few days--whats my next feeding approach? live fish?
2) I just figured out that sargassumfish are cannibals and eat there own kind, so we will have to wait and see what happens with these two! maybe there mated!
3) any other suggestions, helpful comments?

Hmmmm, interesting.

How big are they? That will determine what they should be eating to an extent. Brine shrimp are not something they will eat most likely, too small, not to mention the major lack of nutrition in brine shrimp.

My angler fish always loved eating live saltwater shrimps

try some ghost shrimp if it won't accept frozen shrimp
