tile fish

[ambystoma82]

any1 keep these b4 with shrimps will it attack shrimps?

It eats stuff floating in the water column, so unless your shrimp is small enough, around the size of mysis, and swims around all the time, I don't think there'll be any problem. I have 3 tilefishes together with ###### shrimp, glass shrimp and cleaner shrimp, so far no predatory problems yet.

tile fish are very friendly fishes. They are best kept in pairs or triple-mate. i had a 2.5" tile fish and not so lively but when i got my 8" tile fish, they are so happy swimming together and they are now very healthy eating lik pigzs.
