Info
Cantheschenia grandisquamis is easily identified by the distinctive tail markings and blue spots under the chin.
Cantheschenia filefish should be introduced into a well-established aquarium with plenty of space for swimming and many rocks with caves, crevices and cracks for grazing and hiding.
Filefish are slow swimmers, so an aquarium with little water flow is required.
Feed a balanced diet of seafood and algae.
Cantheschenia filefish eat coral, algae, sponges, molluscs and sea urchins.
Filefish are generally shy and secretive and should only be socialized with other peaceful fish.
