Blue Jaw Tilefish

The Blue Jaw Tilefish is a brilliantly colored marine fish with an active disposition and the inclination to do housework. They are burrowers that will dig a home out from under rocks to use as cover from predators and a safe haven for sleeping. They require both free swimming space and good cover. Water quality conditions should be maintained within typical marine aquarium ranges with stability of these parameters being of utmost importance. Because of their deep water origins, we recommend keeping these fish under low to moderate lighting conditions. Tilefish need a sandy substrate, at least 3 inches deep, allowing them to dig.
