Other information
Similar to several other species of Butterfly referred to as Pearlscales, this one is more yellow on the rear quarter. Other species are more Red/Orange.
Like nearly all Butterfly fish this species require good water quality low in nitrate. Avoid aggression from existing tank mates when introducing it, this can stop them feeding, and difficult to get them eating again.
