The Pearlscale Butterfly is hardy and adapts well to life in an aquarium. They can be kept in groups, including other butterflies, but we recommend adding them last to aquariums with lots of fish. They won't do well with fish that are overly aggressive, but they will also nip and pick at fish that are very timid. Make sure there are plenty of hiding places, which will help them acclimate. Like most butterflies, they're not recommended for reef aquariums because they are likely to consume a variety of coral polyps. This fish will benefit from multiple feedings a day of frozen meaty foods. Adding algae to their diet to graze on mimicks their wild eating behavior. This butterfly will grow to be about 6" in size and will need ample swimming space. They are pearly white with orange on the posterior and caudal fin and a black line that goes through its eyes. The dorsal fins are jagged and can get caught in nets.
