notes
   Tilefish are very fast swimmers and tend to be very active.   
overview
  
The Golden Tilefish (Hoplolatilus luteus) is sometimes called a Yellow Tilefish. Typically reaching a max size of about 6.0 inches in length, the Golden 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 luteus should not be housed in a tank less than 55 gallons in size. 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.
