This fish comes mainly from the Western Pacific. It is fairly hearty and a fairly good eater, once settled in the aquarium. The trick is to get it to eat enough food to survive until it acclimates to it’s environment. As an initial offering, live foods, such as very small feeder guppies, might work best. It is fairly passive, however, it may eat very small tankmates. It is compatible with same or like species and may even school in larger aquariums. This fish is reef compatible in some cases and is a fairly good shipper.
