The Australian Stripey is a vibrant and lively reef fish, known for its striking yellow body adorned with bold black stripes. Its distinct angular shape makes it easily recognizable. These fish can grow up to 6 inches and require a minimum tank size of 120 gallons. They are peaceful and coexist well with other fish, corals, and invertebrates, making them an excellent addition to reef aquariums.
Adding Australian Stripeys to your tank will enhance its movement and color. In larger tanks, they thrive in schools, adding to the visual appeal. Due to their peaceful nature, they should not be housed with aggressive fish. These fish are active throughout the day, providing constant activity in the tank.
As omnivores, Australian Stripeys need a balanced diet of both meaty and plant-based foods. Feeding them nori, marine algae sheets, high-quality flakes, pellets, frozen foods, mysis, and brine shrimp will ensure they remain healthy and content.
