Looking for Orange Spot Filefish for breeding project

[ml708]

Hi Bros,

I'm trying to get some orange spot filefish for breeding purposes. Plenty of SPS in my tank for them to munch on, but of course I would want to train them onto frozen food eventually using bleached acro frags.

Does anyone know where I can find them?

Ah Beng had a few small pieces when I was there last sunday.

They take quite bit of hoaxing to get on mysis and pellets.. I have kept a few pair before, beginning is smeared my food mix and sliverside on a piece of dead acro.. Started eating them in a few days.. all took otohime pellets at the end, I feel pellet is a hit or miss, I have individual even thou others are feeding on pellets but it just refuse to eat.. I also have 1-2 that took pellet straight away after starving.. My take is medium size chances are higher, the bigger ones normally are very finicky and smalle ones loses mass too fast to last them thru the training phrase. And try to get more and seperate them as aggression sets in when they start to pair.. They dun take man made pairing very well..

+1 Actually not sure if they still have in stock, Jireh got a couple of pellet feeding ones last I saw about 1.5 months back.

Thanks guys! Went down today and they had a tiny one left, I got him (it's a male) and he is happily munching on sps at the moment. Hopefully they will have more next week to keep him company!
