Show off your tilefish!

My patient side then came out and said it wasn’t what I want so I won’t have it

Good for you. You have to wait for what you want as real estate is limited in our tanks. Almost went for the jeweled leopard on Reef Pro but I'm going to hold out for a jordani. Hopefully something happens in September.

Hopefully you find your jordani!
The starckii had all the nice colours that the flasher had which made it even harder to avoid haha.

Skinny one already grabbing mysis before the boss (Watanabe angel) can get to it.

What fish are they in with?

Large tangs, wantabei angels, anthias, wrasses. Little bit of everything. In a 220 tank. The tilefish are about 6 inches. Very active.

Same with mine. In with a mess of anthias, Watanabe and bellus angles and they are holding their own. Remind me of tarpon shooting through the feeding frenzy.

My fourmanoiri shows no fear now. Hangs out up front all day, pushes the other fish aside for frozen food (even the fang blennies and clarkii clown pair). Right out front and center, and sits there watching you, studying your movements outside the tank. He knows people bring food, and begs with the fairy wrasses and chromis. He even slurps frozen direct from the end of the turkey baster. Pretty sure he'd take it from my fingers as well, but that doesn't work out well with the fang blennies and clarkii clown pair since accidental bites from either species hurt. By far one of the most inquisitive fish I have ever kept.

They are like dogs. They also don't let any other fish get in their head.

Tank is asleep now. I'll get some tomorrow. They are always out and come to the front glass when they see me. I have 2 Aussies and these are my other 2 dogs!

They must look beautiful! I love the red tails they hold.

I’m actually surprised there’s this many nice tilefish around… I don’t see them much in peoples tanks

How often do you guys feed your tilefish? I saw that second link above recommended 3x a day, but that was news to me!
