it depends on thier personality and the water tempature some times the top water will be warmer becuase of aquarium lights. I have had 5 angelfish and they stayed in different depths and areas the one that was picked on in the petstore stayed at the top, the mean one stayed at the bottom, the mellow one stayed near the filter, the 2 that did not really show a certain trait just went where ever. Are you going to put them with other fish? i don't recommend putting it with shiny fish.
All oceans that are deep is were the Anglerfish lives
A deep water anglerfish has a lure with an added attraction.their lure has a glow which attracts other fish.So, they eat fish.
the question is...how big are you?
Only PAINTED ANGLERFISH live in or near coral and sand (other species live in deep waters)
The light on the anglerfish is called an esca. It is a bioluminescent organ that the anglerfish uses to attract prey in the deep ocean.
The Angler Fishes defence is hiding in the deep from their predator
Some in shallow and some in deep. Some anglerfish are pelagic (live in the open water), while others are benthic (bottom-dwelling). Some live in the deep sea (e.g.Ceratiidae) and others on the continental shelf (e.g. the frogfishes Antennariidae and the monkfish/goosefish Lophiidae).
Although the true depth of an ANGLERFISH is unknown, they live SO deep that almost no light can reach them. They use their "lights" to lure fish into their doom. ( mouth ) FUN FACT: Female Anglerfish are 5 times bigger than a male. In comparison, it's like you, compared to an elephant! Actually, Wikipedia DOES know! Some are pelagic, others are benthic: Please see the related link below for more information:
Dolphins can go 23 miles deep in water.

Water pressure at the depths where anglerfish reside can vary, but it can be several hundred times greater than at the surface. At depths of 1,000 meters, the water pressure is about 100 times greater than at the surface. Anglerfish are able to withstand these extreme pressures due to their specialized adaptations.
