Photo - Longnose Filefish w/fin up.


I've been trying to get him to raise this fin up... and he finally did!

That's a great pic! I love filefish of all kinds, especially whitespotted ones, though I think you would need a pretty big tank for them. What is the other fish in the photo?

Thanks! The friendly guy who noses in on all photos is our Red Sea Sailfin - not the one in my avatar - rest his soul. He's been with us for about 5 yrs or so. the tank is 120. I posted a video of him (filefish) eating flake food the other day.

Actually.... he was swimming around with it straight up continuously, something he'd not done before or since that I ever noticed... so I grabbed the camera and as soon as I shot the photo (w/flash) he slammed it down hard and kept it there! So... I was lucky that my first and only shot was a decent one!
