    Anyone know what this is? White specs on filefish.

    I got this filefish 1 week ago and was not able to do QT. Fish seems fine but I have noticed these white specs on the fins. Other fish in the tank (starry blenny, 2 clowns) seem fine with no spots. Fish seems to be eating and swimming about with seemingly normal behavior. Any suggestions on how...

    Aiptasia Eating Filefish Breeding

    Hi everyone! I was just recently put in charge of filefish husbandry at the wetlab I work at and was wondering if any one had any tips. There isn’t a lot online on how to get them to breed so if anyone has anything on preferred diet or their spawning behavior that would be super helpful!

    Orange You Glad I Didn't Say BlackHead?

    The Orange Body Filefish, or to avoid confusion, Pervagor melanocephalus is a very unique fish, both in looks and in activity. As such, there isn't really any surprise that it sometimes finds its way into people's aquariums. These very peaceful fish stay relatively small, with a record size of...

    Filefish Mouth Growth? Please help!

    I noticed a strange growth or adhesion to my filefish's mouth this afternoon. As far as I know it wasn't there last night when I fed and she was eating like normal. From other threads the suggestions seem to be either an injury or some super glue from a drag or rock in the tank? I don't have...

    EMERGENCY Filefish had tail eaten off after getting head-spike stuck.

    I have a matted filefish that's kept in the sump (has become his home to aggression with other fish). Today I found him lodged at the bottom of the tank due to the spikes on its horn. They were lodged into some filter foam that I use to buffer the protein skimmer. There was a pencil sea urchin...

    I’ve had a heavy digitate hydroids infestation for about a year now. Seemed to be the more ‘mild’ kind as only one type of zoa seemed a little bothered by contact. I cut back on feeding, stopped broadcast feeding, added Halloween hermits, but saw no population reductions. 3 days ago, I was at...
