Sometimes categorized with Butterflyfish, the Australian Stripey is actually a Sea Chub that can be recognized by a deep, compressed body, and distinctly slanting black and yellow stripes. This species lives on rocky and coral reefs in protected coastal and estuarine waters around Hawaii, Japan, China, New Caledonia and Australia.
An omnivore, the Australian Stripey readily accepts frozen and freeze-dried diets containing algae, supplemented with dried algae and vitamin-enriched frozen mysis shrimp, and frozen brine shrimp.
