Flashing Tilefish pic

Great Eating fish = happy fish. That's how I judge :P

Do get a video up when it starts flashing. That fish is a gem

A video is a must. I have my camera by the tank every time I feed so hopefully I can get something decent.

very nice fish!

This morning I checked both tanks as I normally do, and found my tilefish stuck to the power head - dead. Not sure why. I noticed abrasions on his head but don't know if something in the tank caused it or just the powerhead. I had the tank covered to keep him from jumping, he was very active, ate like a pig and had become quite "social". He didn't flash often and if he did, it was at feeding time and did it to the other fish. Hate losing fish...

Ah sorry to hear about your loss I guess the curiosity got its life

im thinking you might need something like a foam piece around your power heads.
or something to stop the fish from being sucked into it

This was in my 55 gl tank, not the 180 and its a koralia 2. I don't believe the power head was the issue as he was a pretty strong swimmer and was all over the tank. Hard to say though, you might be right...
