Hard to keep alive. Mine at like pigs, but withered away after around 6 months. I had the purples and the flashers. Very good jumpers as well.

I bought an Orange tail last week on sale for $18. Eating Mysis in the store. So far so good feeding on mysis and brine. A shy fish though. If you have lots of greedy fish it may be challenging to feed them...

Great looking fish , a while ago I tempted myself to get skunk tile fish , unfortunately last me about a month , very shy fish and like Dre mentioned if u have greedy , fast eating fish , tile fish won't be able to get his share of food ( at least that's my expirance with them )

Was just about to start a thread on them and saw this. Had been interested in getting one for months but could never find one i was happy with knowing how hard they are to find feeding with them being poor shippers and bad collection methods. Went to aquarium care center for a goby sale and they dangled two purple tiles gobbling up mysis in front of me so i couldnt resist. Got both because i heard they do better with a friend. Day two and they are out and about chasing my hand and eating mysis. Already rearranging my tank by pushing out my frag plugs wedged betwwen rocks they wanted to make paths and a pile of snail shells in front of my tank. Praying for the best they got full bellies and look happy but heard they can be iffy. Got a few pics as well.
