filefish

SO - somehow - no clue how - I ended up with some aiptasia anemones. I just tried to kill them with 'removal' - and a month later - I had 50. They weren't spreading - and I personally don't mind them - they didnt seem to hurt anything - when it increased to more than that - I thought - hmmm...

Everything says to hatch the eggs first then add the live brine a little at a time as food. But what if I want a constant food supply for picky fish. Can I add eggs directly to the tank so they can pick them off as they hatch? I’m thinking of wrasses and filefish in particular.

So I’m planning a large 360 gallon SPS tank. My question is, will this tank have enough coral growth to feed a Harlequin Filefish and make sure not too many corals are lost? Of course I’ll wait until the system is very mature.

I bought a pair of "bonded" white-spotted pygmy filefish from live aquaria and they swam together for a bit when I first put them in my tank, but now it seems like they hate each other. The video is of the smaller one chasing the big one, but it happens the other way around as well and is...

Hello all, this is my first post on this forum over the past 8 weeks I have been setting up my reef tank with my LFS and everything was going pretty well until yesterday. Cycled water for 4-5 weeks then added a black and white clownfish followed by a yellow clown goby a week or so later. Fast...

About 6 months ago I bought a pair of orange spotted filefish. I know they’re supposed to eat exclusively live coral but can sometimes be trained to accept prepared foods. I couldn’t supply my filefish with live coral but the whole reason I bought them was because they were eating frozen food in...

Looking for fellow reefers help. I just bought a filefish a few weeks ago to remove all the aptasia from my small tank. The fish did it's job but there's a few issues. 1. The wife does not want it. 2. it's in my 13Gallon and we think it's eating the zoas from our 13 gallon tank. All my frags are...

I have had a pair of radial filefish setup in a 32 biocube for about a year and half now with no problems other than jumping incidents. I originally had a mesh top that one of the file fish got stuck in when he tried to jump. I was lucky enough to save him and replaced the top with a glass top I...

With everyone trying their hardest to QT, dip, and keep parameters perfect, it still can happen. Pests! Maybe bristle worms, Aiptasia, flatworms, or hair algae. The question what do YOU use for that unexpected nuisance? there are a lot of short term cures but what would you want to put and KEEP...

I have tried everything to fix my aptasia problem (Copper-banded Butterfly, peppermint shrimp, aptasia-x, and aptasia away). About two weeks ago I finally broke down and bought a CAPTIVE raised aptasia eating filefish ($30). I have always been worried about purchasing these considering the fact...
