Posted	Tile fish
04-03-2006 23:15 by Ray Lowe	Visited lfs today and noticed these fantastic looking fish they are purple around 6 inches long and quarter inch thick i was really tempted as i am a huge fan of fire fish but was told they are huge jumpers i have open top i have looked on internet and cannot find a pic any where they were not cheap £48.00 each supposed to be reef safe according to owner and quiet hardy wondered if any chaps/lasses out there have had any success with them?

07-03-2006 13:37 by Alan	I don't think it was a file fish as far as I am aware they are not difficult to keep but are sensitive to copper. Here is a link worth looking at: http://www.thepetstop.com/fish_shop/fish/Tilefish.html If it is the purple tilefish I'm thinking of its latin name is Hoplolatilus purpureus Picture isn't great on the website but it gives you an idea of what I am thinking.
