Purple Tilefish

[aerius007]

I saw some of these yesterday at Aquatic Technology. What a great addition they would be to my tank, however I'm worried about them being fragile. Any members here have any experience with them? From what I hear you should least buy a pair of them, if not more. Unfortunately they arent cheap so buying the four I saw was out of the question.

Very shy fish for the most part, they do alot of hiding, and you better have a sealed lid on your tank or they will be jumping out. Flashing tile goby/fish probably the coolest fish I have ever seen, if no one has ever seen one do a search on one, that fish being able to change color on a dime is amazing.

i have the blue one ,,she is way cool ,,(thanks Jeff)
mine is not shy at all , is a awesome tank mate to the rest of the fish , eats like a pig , she is a Pearl Ivory and blue color ,,, and can change her blue from dark to light instantly ,, its about 5 inches long and real nice fish ,, there are red striped one too , solid white with a big red stripe right down side , and a purple one too

You ever notice them trying to go carpet surfing? I have an open top tank.

oh for sure ,,she landed on my keyboard a few days ago while i was on line ,,i picked her back up put her right back in the tank , and then put my canopy back on !!!! has to be the fastest fish i have ever seen she can really move along , from one end of my 6' tank to the other in the blink of a eye ....
