The **Latticed Butterflyfish** is a stunning and vibrant species of butterflyfish. These fish feature a predominantly yellow body adorned with a prominent black stripe across the eye and tail, along with a lattice pattern covering their entire body.
Reaching up to 7 inches in length, **Latticed Butterflyfish** require a minimum tank size of 90 gallons. They are peaceful creatures and generally coexist well with other fish and invertebrates. In their natural habitat, they primarily feed on coral, making them unsuitable for reef aquariums.
In fish-only tanks with peaceful to semi-aggressive companions, **Latticed Butterflyfish** can bring a splash of color. Due to their shy and gentle nature, it's essential to provide ample live rock for hiding spots if they feel threatened.
As carnivores, **Latticed Butterflyfish** thrive on a diet rich in meaty foods. In captivity, they can be fed mysis and brine shrimp, along with small pieces of fresh seafood, to maintain their health and vitality.
