Owen Fisher –
Received the orange-eyed filefish in good condition. It’s active and peaceful in a 55-gallon tank. The fish has adapted well to the environment and shows no signs of aggression. A great addition to a moderately sized marine setup.
Alexandra Paterson –
The fish arrived healthy and was easy to acclimate. It’s a striking color with the orange eyes. It’s not aggressive and stays near the lower tank area. Works well with other non-reef species.
Liam Chapman –
Perfect for intermediate aquarists. The filefish is calm and has a unique appearance. After a few weeks, it started exploring the tank more. No issues with compatibility with other fish.
