Pyramid Butterflyfish

The Pyramid Butterflyfish, also known as the Pyramid Butterfly or Pyramid Butterflyfish, is a striking and active fish with a distinctive pyramid-shaped white patch on its side, set against a vibrant yellow body. Its fins are typically yellow, and it has a small black spot near the base of its tail.

A minimum of a 70-gallon tank is recommended for the Pyramid Butterflyfish, providing ample swimming space and plenty of live rock for grazing and hiding. While generally considered more reef-safe than many other butterflyfish species, they may occasionally nip at certain corals, particularly LPS (Large Polyp Stony) corals and clam mantles.

The Pyramid Butterflyfish is a schooling fish in the wild and can be kept in pairs or small groups in a sufficiently large aquarium. They are not easily sexed and breeding in captivity is not common. Their diet should consist of a variety of marine-based foods, including high-quality flake and pellet foods, frozen mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and marine algae. Offering a varied diet will help maintain their vibrant coloration and overall health.
