Yellow Leaf Fish Care Facts

Care Level: Moderate
Temperament: Semi-Aggressive
Diet: Carnivore
Reef Safe: No
Minimum Tank Size: 30 gallons
Max Size: 4 inches
The Leaf Fish, Taenianotus triacanthus, is native to the Indo-Pacific Oceans. Its name derives from its leafy appearance due to its general leaf-like shape and coloration. Ranging from green, red, pink, yellow, brown, and white, Leaf fishes are variable. The Leaf Fish is actually venomous so exercise caution while handling or transporting and also with what tank mates you pair it with. They prefer tanks of at least 30 gallons, with plenty of live rock hiding places, and will live on a simple carnivorous diet of small inverts. 

This is a great Yellow Leaf Fish who showed up healthy and happy. He was shy at first in my quarantine tank but after moving him over to the main tank he has been quite the showman. Beautiful fish to add to a reef tank.
