I've had a Blue Jaw Tilefish since April 2010 and he is doing well. After starving, the main cause of death for tilefish is jumping. The tank is now covered with mesh and glass tops.Feliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05995452713519628365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1706407444316683707.post-11414438698857863622010-01-22T14:03:05.373-08:002010-01-22T14:03:05.373-08:00thats really cool i want one now but the thing is ...thats really cool i want one now but the thing is i dont know how much they are.

I'll be on the lookout for another tilefish...I've had my eye on the purple tilefish for a while, anyway. <br /><br />Blinky is doing so great, I just love him. His favorite activity is definitely eating. He nibbles on the end of the feeding syringe or my fingers when I feed. He has no fear now and swims around all the time. He has filled out really nicely and has a fat belly. <br /><br />Good news, I'll be upgrading to a 120 gallon tank. As soon as my friend tears it down, it's coming to my house.Feliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05995452713519628365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1706407444316683707.post-83034491451930143942009-11-15T12:27:38.280-08:002009-11-15T12:27:38.280-08:00Quick note-

I have a pair and they swim in the center of the tank all day long and eat from my hand. When they were first introduced they separated and UNTIL they found each other (125 gallon tank) they hid but that was just one day... You can try another type of tilefish since these are so rare but the fish will live MUCH longer and happier with a tilefish buddy... They prefer a HUGE tank and my 125 is barely big enough...mr knowitallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10930718910068035707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1706407444316683707.post-58304439919494146982009-11-10T05:46:48.638-08:002009-11-10T05:46:48.638-08:00That is one insanely cool fish.

I put my hand in my tank tonight to move a coral that had fallen, and he was swimming around my hand calmly, but expectantly. I also had two seahorses hitched on my fingers. I was barely able to move the coral for being so crowded by nosy fish!Feliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05995452713519628365noreply@blogger.com
