Hemitaurichthys polylepis



Hemitaurichthys polylepis is native to the Indo-Pacific. These fish can often be found off the coast of Hawaii. The fish gets its name from the white spots on the sides in the shape of a pyramid. In nature, fish swim in large flocks of several hundred individuals at a depth of 3-40 m.

Pyramidal butterfly reaches a size of about 18 cm in length.

Keep fish should be in a sufficiently large aquarium, given that they contain a group of at least 5-6 fish. At least 180 liters of water per fish. The aquarium should be placed a variety of different shelters in the form of rocks with splits and caves, which could freely swim these fish.
