The **Whitespotted Pygmy Filefish** is a small, charming species of filefish. These fish display a predominantly tan to brown body adorned with prominent silvery white spots.

Reaching up to 3 inches in length, **Whitespotted Pygmy Filefish** require a minimum tank size of 29 gallons. They are known for their peaceful nature and generally coexist well with other fish, corals, and invertebrates. However, they may consume smaller invertebrates, so consider this when adding them to a reef aquarium.

Due to their gentle disposition, **Whitespotted Pygmy Filefish** should not be housed with large, aggressive fish. They thrive alongside other peaceful to semi-aggressive small to medium-sized fish. A tank rich in live rock and marine plants is ideal, as these fish often seek refuge in the rockwork and forage for small invertebrates between meals.

As omnivores, **Whitespotted Pygmy Filefish** need a balanced diet of both meaty and plant-based foods. Offer them mysis and brine shrimp, high-quality frozen foods, and premium flake and pellet foods to ensure their health and happiness.
