Description: Scrawl Filefish are hardy fish for the fish only aquarium. We source our Scrawled Filefish from the Caribbean. They are known for their unique body shape, light brown colored body, and a blue "scribble" pattern that runs all along the body. They eat all prepared foods and can grow to 4 feet in the wild! Caution should be taken when mixing with conspecifics. Scrawl Files are not reef safe as they will prey upon crustaceans and fleshy invertebrates.
