The Latticed Butterflyfish is very hardy, docile , attractive, and is easy to feed . It loves mysis shrimp and meaty preparations . When it's asleep, it has a huge black spot over the center of its body. My wife loves this fish because of its color and its peaceful personality . Overall, it's a great fish to have in your aquarium .
