The Lemon Butterflyfish (Chaetodon milliaris) is sometimes called a Milletseed Butterflyfish. It belongs to the family named Chaetodontidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 5.1 inches in length, the Lemon Butterflyfish is generally passive in nature and hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out across the entire tank. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Chaetodon milliaris should not be housed in a tank less than 75 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include plenty of hiding places and a well established aquarium.
