The Lemon Butterflyfish or Milletseed Butterflyfish has a white body with yellow accents running down the dorsal fin and the posterior. There are rows of vertical black dots running down its interior portion. Black vertical bands cover both eyes.
The Lemon Butterflyfish is a good intermediate fish for the hobbyist looking to expand. It is fairly hardy and does well in an aquarium setting. Provide a well-established system with peaceful fish, plenty of live rock and sandy substrate. They will eat corals and pick at many small invertebrates including feather dusters and sea anemones.
To initiate feeding, offer a variety of small frozen foods such as mysis shrimp, enriched brine shrimp and cyclopeeze. Train your butterflyfish to eat Formula One Small Pellets or Flakes for a healthy diet.
