Aquarium Conditioned-Purple Tilefish

Aquarium Conditioned-Purple Tilefish, Hoplolatilus purpureus.

Size: ~5-6 inches, reach ~5-6+ inches with maturity.

We are excited to offer Purple Tilefish. This is a strikingly beautiful fish with gorgeous coloring. This species will often be out and about in the open of the aquarium. The Purple Tilefish is a fairly larger fish species and require a deep sand-bed such as 3 or more inches for best sucess. This species will stress if not given proper conditions. We recommend a 75-90+ gallon or larger aquarium size for this species. This species is very jumpy and startles easily, a cover on the aquarium is an absolute must! We recommend these go to an experience keeper familiar with their unique care requirements.

They are eating frozen Mysis shrimp, frozen LRS nano blend and live enriched brine shrimp for us.

Our Aquarium Conditioned fish are quarantined and observed at our aquaculture facility before offered for sale. We prophylactically deworm all our fish as well as run an anti-parasitic treatment on all of our fish.   

We recommend housing only one or two of this species in the same tank. They are peaceful fish and considered reef safe.
