Purple Tilefish (Hoplolatilus purpureus)

[ewaise]

Hi,

I want to buy this Purple Tilefish. I've 620l (164g) tank, 160x70x55cm.

Now I've just 2 Amphiprion ocellaris, Pterosynchiropus splendidus (female) and Salarias fasciatus.

In the future I would like to buy:
- Pterosynchiropus splendidus (male)
- Zebrasoma flavescens
- Zebrasoma xanthurum
- Paracanthurus hepatus
- Acanthurus leucosternon
- 2x Nemateleotris magnifica
- Cryptocentrus cinctus
- 10 Pseudanthias evansi

Are those fishes good tankmates for tilefishes? Not too much fishes? I'll be grateful for any help.

There may be an incompatibility with Nemateleotris magnifica in terms of intimidation. I won't comment on the conjunction and type of tangs for that sized tank.

Skittish fish, not good with large sized fish. I have the chance to own 2 for about 3 month, mostly hide during the day unless comes feeding time. Lost both due to injury due to fallen rock. But the color was an amazing neonish purple, so much different.

Ok. thanks for answers, I saw purple tilefish with many tangs in one tank, but this tank was larger then mine. I don't want to harras fishes, so I'll probalby not buy tilefishes.
