The Teardrop Butterflyfish, also known as the Tear Drop Butterflyfish, has a white base becoming yellow dorsally and on the median fins. It has a large black eyespot on its upper side and a black bar through the eyes. A black vertical stripe is also present at the posterior end.
The Teardrop Butterflyfish will do best in a 70 gallon or larger fish-only aquarium. The Teardrop Butterflyfish may reside in a reef environment with other butterflyfish, but will eat different invertebrates present in the tank.
Its diet should include both meaty foods and vegetable matter.
Like other butterflyfish, they are generally compatible with: Dwarf Angelfish, Large Angelfish, Anglers & Frogfish, Anthias, Basslets, Batfish, Blennies, Boxfish, Cardinalfish, Clownfish, Filefish, Goatfish, Gobies, Grunts & Sweetlips, Hawkfish, Hogfish, Parrotfish, Pseudochromis and Puffers.
