I have had a lot of filefish come through but I cant say I have worked with this guy! I hope someone has as it would be awesome to hear about their temperaments.Question for filefish owners - has anyone kept the whitespotted pygmy filefish? Rudarius ercodes
did yiura ever just start plumping up?? mine is super fatOne of our original fish was a file!! Charlie the Unicorn was a favorite in our house...until he took a liking to our hammers and torches. Never saw him eat aiptasia but we didn't ever have much of it either. We banished him to our 25g and he ruled that tank for months. Came back from a week long scuba vacation and he was dying not sure what happened.
He was by far one of the highlights for anyone who watched our videos or visited our house. I'd get another, but don't want to risk the coral munching again. Maybe down the line with a more mature reef!!
I had a pair for a while, super hardy and entertaining. They would eat mysis and pellets, unfortunately I lost them in a velvet outbreak.Question for filefish owners - has anyone kept the whitespotted pygmy filefish? Rudarius ercodes
Thank you for your info!!! Been eyeballing.I had a pair for a while, super hardy and entertaining. They would eat mysis and pellets, unfortunately I lost them in a velvet outbreak.
Every other type of fish seems to have a "Lovers" thread... Why not our poor little Filefish friends? They are one of the most used utility fish in our hobby and get along with just about everyone on the reef. (Unless you are an invert!)
There are some really cool filefish out there, do you have one? I will get us started with the most common and obvious:
The Matted Filefish or Aiptasia Easting Filefish!
