Known for its elongated tail and specialized fin rays that allow it to perch on the seafloor, this fish has a truly distinctive silhouette and an almost alien elegance that sets it apart from more common marine species.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"534\" data-end=\"1039\"\u003eIn the aquarium, Tripodichthys blochii is calm, deliberate, and appreciated by aquarists who enjoy observing unique behaviors. It spends much of its time resting on its extended fins, using them like stilts while scanning for food. This species is carnivorous and readily accepts frozen meaty foods such as mysis shrimp, enriched brine, and finely chopped seafood. Due to its slower nature, it should be housed with peaceful tankmates that will not outcompete it for food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1041\" data-end=\"1053\"\u003eQuick Facts:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1055\" data-end=\"1356\"\u003eScientific Name: Tripodichthys blochii\u003cbr data-start=\"1093\" data-end=\"1096\"\u003eCommon Name: Longtail Tripodfish\u003cbr data-start=\"1128\" data-end=\"1131\"\u003eOrigin: Indo Pacific\u003cbr data-start=\"1151\" data-end=\"1154\"\u003eTemperament: Peaceful, slow moving\u003cbr data-start=\"1188\" data-end=\"1191\"\u003eDiet: Carnivore (mysis, brine shrimp, chopped marine meats)\u003cbr data-start=\"1250\" data-end=\"1253\"\u003eReef Compatibility: Usually safe with corals, will prey on inverts\u003cbr data-start=\"1286\" data-end=\"1289\"\u003eCare Level: Moderate\u003cbr data-start=\"1321\" data-end=\"1324\"\u003eMinimum Tank Size: 100 gallons\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1358\" data-end=\"1636\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eThe Longtail Tripodfish is an exceptional choice for large, low aggression marine aquariums.
