The **Tiger Filefish** is a unique and seldom-seen species in home aquariums. This fish features a predominantly tan body adorned with striking silvery-white patterns reminiscent of a tiger's stripes, which is how it got its name.

Reaching an adult size of up to 4 inches, the **Tiger Filefish** requires a minimum tank size of 40 gallons. Known for their peaceful nature, these fish generally coexist well with other fish, corals, and invertebrates. However, some individuals may nibble on small invertebrates and corals, so caution is advised when adding them to a reef tank.

Avoid housing the **Tiger Filefish** with large, aggressive fish, as they are not adept at self-defense. They thrive in environments with plenty of live rock and marine plants, where they can forage for small invertebrates between meals.

As omnivores, **Tiger Filefish** need a balanced diet of both meaty and plant-based foods. Ideal options include small pieces of fresh seafood such as shrimp, scallops, clams, and krill. They may also accept mysis and brine shrimp, as well as high-quality flake and frozen foods.
