$150.00

Aussie Stripey (Microcanthus strigatus)

The Aussie Stripey is a striking and active marine fish, recognized for its golden body adorned with bold, vertical black stripes running from head to tail. Native to Australian waters, this hardy species brings movement, contrast, and personality to larger aquariums. Its schooling nature and inquisitive behavior make it a lively addition to community marine tanks.

Size: Typically grows up to 6 inches in length

Country of Origin: Western Pacific Ocean, primarily around northern and eastern Australia

Latin Name: Microcanthus strigatus

Care Level: Moderate – thrives in well-established aquariums with stable water parameters, ample swimming space, and moderate water flow

Aussie Stripeys are omnivores that feed on algae, small crustaceans, and planktonic foods. In captivity, they readily accept marine flakes, pellets, mysis shrimp, and other prepared foods. They are generally reef safe, posing minimal threat to corals and invertebrates, but are best kept in groups to promote natural schooling behavior and reduce territorial stress.
