Jeff, you're the man.....I love my file fish, Thanks, TimmyNY. He eats aiptasia like a pig...and shrimp, and rod's food, and...and...and...He's like the goat of the 55g aggressive.

Anyone have a species name?

 

[jfl14609]

Acreichthys tomentosus

 

[der_wille_zur_macht]

Cool-looking fish. Too bad his reef-safeness seems questionable.

 

[jfl14609]

so far mine has been a perfect fish just a terrible aptasia eater

 

[der_wille_zur_macht]

Honestly, I could care less about pest eradication - the attraction for me is that I love oddball, ugly fish. Just seems that many of them are questionable. I really want something uglier than an algae blenny in my next tank.

 

[jfl14609]

Honestly my tank is pretty maxed out fish wise so if this guy doesn't do its job in the next few weeks I will give it to ya but you never know its only been in the tank for a week so who knows it might start eating every coral in my tank

 

[der_wille_zur_macht]

Thanks for the offer, but I don't have anywhere to put him. The 360g isn't going to be wet 'till this summer, and my only other tank at the moment is planted FW.

shoot......do you want my ugly arse cichlid?
