For a long time people thought they were asexual because nobody could see the males.

Why the hell can't we bring some sort of pressure chamber down there, lure an angler fish into it and bring him to the surface by adjusting the pressure to keep him alive?

>When he finds a female, he bites into her skin, and releases an enzyme that digests the skin of his mouth and her body, fusing the pair down to the blood-vessel level. The male then atrophies into nothing more than a pair of gonads, which releases sperm in response to hormones in the female's bloodstream indicating egg release. This extreme sexual dimorphism ensures that, when the female is ready to spawn, she has a mate immediately available.

How is this different than the human mating process?

It's not just about money. No matter how slowly you depressurized the fish's chamber, they just can't survive in far too low pressure. Similarly humans could never survive the pressure in the depths the anglerfish live in.

Then why not just keep them in a permanently pressurized fish tank?

Have fun building a pressurized tank.
Have fun feeding your fishes and changing their water.

With an airlock it would probably be possible, and it would be the most badass fish to have, just SLIGHTLY ahead of oscars.

No one could POSSIBLY want an anglerfish for a pet. D:

Frogfish, goosefish, and batfish (not all of which live in deep waters) are angler fish. Frogfish are popular aquarium pets.
