Filefish - Tassled Chaetoderma pencilligera

[dsaundry]

Lost one due to a carpet surfing accident..but the other one is doing great. It did however develop a growth by the tail area that was hard like a sort of gristle..however I performed a bit of minor surgery and he seems quite happy now..fun little fish....

Hey d, you can re-vote now, and...

...interesting about the growth near the tail you mentioned. The one I still have has a growth on it too. On the caudal fin. Kind of a dark greenish colour. Sorta looks like lice, although I'm pretty sure it's not. Never touched it, so I don't know the texture.

Cheers,

I had one for about 8 months , it was a great fish , no problems with it eating or anything , and of course he jumped, as I could not find him in the tank , so I chacked on the floor and of course hes laying there, I might still try another one just with lids. I also had a small one about the size of a toonie , I had him for a couple of months , I sold him to a freind and of course in the firsat week he was dead, stuck to a seio powerhead, thats why I quit using powerheads , I was sick of pulling fish out of them , so I just changed up what I could keep (coral wise)
