The Bluestripe Butterflyfish is a captivating yellow and blue species native to Hawaii. This fish features a vibrant yellow body adorned with striking electric blue stripes running horizontally.

The Bluestripe Butterflyfish can grow up to 5 inches and requires a minimum tank size of 90 gallons. Known for its peaceful nature, it coexists well with other fish but is not suitable for reef tanks due to its coral-eating habits. It thrives in fish-only tanks with other peaceful to semi-aggressive species.

These fish do well in small groups, adding a splash of color to your FOWLR (Fish Only With Live Rock) setup. While they may initially struggle to adapt to aquarium life, once acclimated, they are more resilient than other butterflyfish.

As carnivores, Bluestripe Butterflyfish need a diet rich in both plant and animal matter. Feeding them mysis and brine shrimp, nori, algae sheets, and high-quality frozen and flake foods will ensure their health and vitality.
