Tilefish are very fast swimmers and tend to be very active. They tend to acclimate much better when housed in groups. |

The Flashing Tilefish (Hoplolatilus chlupatyi) is sometimes called a Chameleon Tilefish. Typically reaching a max size of about 5.0 inches in length, the Flashing Tilefish is generally passive in nature and moderately hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out across the entire tank. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Hoplolatilus chlupatyi should not be housed in a tank less than 55 gallons in sizeand in general should have low (2 watts/gallon) light to thrive. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include extra swimming area and keep 3 or more.
