General info about Tiger Filefish
Tiger Filefish have a mostly tan body with strong silvery white markings that look like a tiger's, hence the name. Tiger Filefish shouldn't be kept with overly large aggressive fish since they do not defend themselves very well. Tiger Filefish will also like having lots of live rock and even some marine plants in their tanks. They will spend most of their time going through the rock and plants looking for small inverts to eat between feedings.
