Real Dino tamer tame Anglefish with wooden club in deep sea
Angle fish have very low hp and big torpor, made it painful hard to tame high level one. But it's not impossible, you can easily tame a lvl 150 one with a tanky Bary.
Prepare: some scuba suits, 1 full scuba set, 1 tanky Bary set to passive, 1 wooden club and crossbow, arrow, some tranq arrows since you not gonna need a lot of them. Some regular kibble to tame it, and toxin if you want (since you can farm on site with crossbow on Bery back)
Tame: Clean up the site with crossbow and Bary, grab Toxin that floating around after shoot them. Get close to the target fish and shot it with tranq arrow till it start to flee, flee away if your Bary getting low to eat nearby sharks for recover it hp.
When it start to flee, phase 2 start, stop shooting tranq arrow or you will kill the angle, time for get close and personal with a club, your Bary will not likely to run out of stamina underwater if you don't tail spin anything, so just speed it up and club the fish down.
After it got knocked up, give it regular kibbles and off to do your own things, you have loads of scuba suits after all, kill some alpha fishes, kill some whales, kill some turtles, but remember to keep an eye on the fish torpor as it drop pretty fast while hunger drop very slow. Feed it toxin till it tamed(toxin is better because you can farm them easily with crossbow while waiting for it getting tamed)
Use Bary and crossbow to clean anything

Be really care when knocking these things out from a distance! Unfortunately they don't look knocked out when they are so continuing to shoot darts at them can be an easy an unfortunate mistake to make.
How to Tame a Anglerfish:

And ride a itchy to Not be attack.
-then go to the Deep sea and kill the rest of the creatures That you're surronding (except the Anglerfish)
-after you find it, Knock it then Feed it with prime meat or kibble and in case some biotoxin.

Utility: the Anglerfish doesn't need a Saddle, you can ride freely but it will be more vulnerable to attacks.
The Anglerfish can harvest tons of Pearls and a bit of Blackpearl and it's good for going to caves for a better view and has decent damage.

Pro tip! Anglerfish can be caught in a fish basket!
Good day! Today I'll be looking at the anglerfish.

- What kind of creature is it? -
The anglerfish is a predatory and aggressive fish that lives on the bottom of the water. Its bulb emits a weak light, which attracts other anglers. It's small and has low health, so it's easy to kill it with any underwater creature. (However, without a tamed underwater creature, it can be problematic.)
There are two types of anglerfish:
Normal anglerfish
Aberrant anglerfish (found on the Aberration map)
- How to tame it? -
Since the anglerfish lives in the depths, it can only be knocked out with a crossbow equipped with tranq arrows. For an easy stun, you can bring along an underwater creature with high health and set it to passive. While the anglerfish is biting your creature, you gradually stun it (slowly, because if you shoot at it too often, you can accidentally kill it). After stunning it, place mutton in its inventory (or feed it if you have it) and wait for it to tame. I recommend taking plenty of drugs, as the stun fades quickly.
- Usefulness -
The anglerfish is an excellent pearl gatherer. Although it's small, you can craft a saddle and ride it in the water. The anglerfish collects 5β worth of pearls, making it an excellent source of this resource, essential for crafting many items. It also has a lamp that can be used to attract other anglers and farm anglerfish gel. It's not ideal for traveling, so use it for pearl gathering. (You can also ride an anglerfish without a saddle, which makes resource consumption easier.)
- Loot -
The anglerfish's loot is meager, but it does provide resources for crafting some items.
Raw fish (meat)
Anglerfish gel (that's the resource)
- Controls -
I tamed an anglerfish, but it was a long time ago, so I only know this:
Bite - LMB
Most likely, either RMB or C lights up the anglerfish's light.
ADDMENT FROM THE AUTHOR OF THIS ARTICLE
If you have any further questions about the anglerfish, you can ask me personally: tg @shomyaFloppa . You can find more information online by searching for "Ark anglerfish wiki"

Can be used to pick up 60ish pearls instead of 6 or so by hand. Awesome tame now since the update added this.
- Main use for this tame is using the Angler as a "lure" for other anglers kill anglers for their gel. The gel is the longest burning fuel in the game at approx. 6 minutes per 1 gel
- secondly use is a light source underwater
You donβt need a saddle to ride them.
Sister and I found one max level in the aberation area in Valguero.
We began darting it to tame it.
It did not want to be tamed.
It literally beached itself and died.
I caught the whole thing on clip.
I was laughing but my sister was pissed.
DO NOT use a crossbow for knocking out! Not for all shots anyway.
Use half to 60% of what Dododex recommends for crossbow, then finish the rest with harpoon tranq to avoid killing these guys.
I feel like Dododex is way off with their approximation of a 19% chance of death with a crossbow tranq. I'd say it's more of a 80%+ chance you will kill these with tranq only.
Use an dolphin to tame because you can shoot off the back and nothing will agro it π
