Description
The Pearlscale Butterflyfish or Yellowtail Butterflyfish has a silver colored body with a distinct black outlined scale pattern. There is a small black band over the eyes and a thick orange band at the tail fin region.
The Pearlscale Butterflyfish is a moderately hardy fish and should be kept with peaceful tank mates. The Pearlscale Butterfly Fish will swim in all areas of the tank and should have plenty of swimming area. More than one can be added to tank if done simultaneously and can be kept with other butterflyfish species. Keep in tank with plenty of live rock for grazing and shelter. May nip at coral and invertebrates and not recommended for a reef tank.
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.
