I have had my angler for about 4 to 5 months and he has been doing great, till about a week or so ago , all area stores where out of salt ghost shrimp so I picked up a couple of dozen fresh water shrimp and he has not been the same since.He has always been a very deep purple to red but he has lighted up / very pale and the salt shrimp I put in just walk all over him. I think he is eating but in the morning he swims around a lot . He never used to act this way . Any body have any suggestion

Thanks Harleyguy

How often are you feeding him? Ive learned to never feed any freshwater fish/inverts to my saltwater predators. Try feeding one damsel every week. Over feeding anglers can be a VERY dangerous thing and you may end up loosing it. So my suggestion is, stop feeding him/her freshwater shrimp and try a damsel. For now, dont feed him/her until next week. See how he reacts.
