Redtail Filefish (Pervago malanocephalus)

The filefish is a diminutive and striking addition to the peaceful marine aquarium. Growing only 6 inches long from their lips to its paddle-like tail, this speckled fish can also change its color depending on its mood and surroundings. They will need an aquarium of at least 50 gallons. Their diet consists of mysis, brine, and other meaty food. They will also take high quality flake and pellet food.

 This fish is guaranteed for live arrival.
