Description: Tilefish are extremely peaceful, but sensitive fish species. This fish is unique and exhibits a white body with a horizontal, red stripe running along the body with a striking blue eye. They are best in reef aquarium with other peaceful fish. They are prone to jumping, so a tight-fitting lid is a must! They prefer a tank with a nice, aged sand bed. They generally eat smaller frozen food.
