It looks like a lookdown they get to around 2 feet in size and I believe will eat smaller fish.

I think it's some kind of filefish. Don't know which kind.

Tn23 04-07-2013 09:57 PM

^looks like a filefish to me as well.

I don't know what it is but it looks nothing like a look down based on the link posted.

The easy thing to do is call your LFS. Probably would have known by now.

I always worry seeing a post like this as it means you do not know anything about this fish other than what the LFS told you.

It is always best to do your research before buying.

Good luck. Hopefully it's not a beast like the look down!

Seem ultra peaceful love eating shrimp and meat food won't touch pellet so even if It is I like him will keep him healthy till he is big enough for a new home

I have a matted filefish. its peaceful and similar to yours but tail is
a fan shape is constantly eating of the rock and is not fazed by the
larger fish. grows to 3-1/2 inches. does yours change colours?

Madreefer 04-08-2013 04:42 PM

Oh so you bought this fish and its in your tank already? It's tail does look different than the filefish. I'm with Fishoholic on this one. I hope we're wrong though

Davidbugera 04-08-2013 06:30 PM

No it don't but I have the filefish and it does look alike but the tail is way different and color is way different
