Moon Lighter Sea Chub

Tilodon Sea Chubs should be added to well established aquariums with wide open swim areas. Sea Chubs will also require a sand bed where they can hunt for small crustaceans and algae. Provide a bit of rock work with caves, cracks or crevices for hiding. They are generally easy, peaceful and considered to be reef safe and will need to be housed with other peaceful fish. Sea Chubs are schooling fish and prefer to be housed in small groups. Feed a diet of meaty based foods fed multiple times daily.
