This fish will enjoy grazing on macro algae growing in your aquarium, but be aware that it will also eat any small invertebrates present. Offering a varied diet of herbivorous food as well as carnivore food will be best for this fish. These fish tend to move slowly, so an aquarium with slower moving tank mates and lower water flow would be ideal for this filefish.
