Description

Aeoliscus strigatus fish is a fish from the Acanthuridae family, also known as the Arlequin fish. It is from the tropical waters of Indo-Pacific, where it is generally found in coral lagoons and reefs. The body of the hinged fish is elongated and flattened, with a variable color according to the habitat in which it is located. The upper part of the body is generally blue, while the lower part is white with black stripes. The Arlequin fish also has a caudal peacock finish fin, which gives it great agility in water.

The Arlequin fish is a gregarious fish that lives in a group of several individuals. These groups can count up to a few hundred fish, which mainly feed small invertebrates, such as crustaceans and molluscs. The Arlequin fish is also known for its ability to adapt to different types of habitats, ranging from shallow waters to deeper waters.

Due to its beautiful color and its great agility in water, the Arlequin fish is often popular with aquarophilia enthusiasts. However, it is important to note that the hinged fish needs an aquarium large enough to be able to move freely and benefit from an adequate habitat. It is also important to feed it properly to prevent it from developing health problems. In general, the Arlequin fish is a fascinating and attractive animal that can be an excellent companion for aquarophilia enthusiasts.
