Biopet level inaccurate?

I'm having difficulty taming my bio-engineered pet. Its Difficulty Level seems to be registering the same a the wild version. I bought a lvl 21 angler and have been eager to tame it because it has ranged attacks w/poison. After enough gringing my "max level of pets" is now 22 and "taming wild creatures" is now 30. When I try to tame my angler I get a message saying I lack the required skill. Is there a catagory os skill I am not seeing that needs to be higher such as agressive or viscious? I only ask because I don't recall this being the case originally for B.E. pets.

I should also mention that I had a +15 creature taming bonus from a food item when I last tried to tame my lvl 21 BE angler. That would have made my taming at the time 27. I also tried at the same time to tame two other BE pets, one lvl 23 the other lvl 24 and received the same message.

Ok. After reaching Max Pet level 24 I was able to tame my level 21 as well as the level 23. So it doesn't look like the BE pets are taming at their native levels as I feared. This is a good thing. Problem solved. Now to figure out why my ranged pets don't attack at range.

some require vicious taming point to tame, keep that in mind, for an instance if you want to tame a wild bull rancor (CL65) you need to stack around 15-20 points extra into vicious taming.

It is a bit dependent on the mob type I believe, but it could be that that is holding you back at current stage.

Angler would count as a vicious creature. Does the range attack work on it? Ranged attacked on pets got bugged a while ago and I haven't check to see if it got fixed or not.

BTW I just stocked taming and mask scent pants and belts on my Mall of Naboo vendor if you need those to help with this.

My angler does seem to be working at ranged as long as it is not agro. Just have to either be tanking and then command ranged pet or send tank pet in first to get agro then trigger ranged pet. Found a few decent BE's but few seem to be putting creatures with any armor on their vendors. Soon to be taming mounts but long way from master.
