Lined Dartfish – LiveAquaria
The Lined Dartfish has a gray body with black and blue stripes running horizontally along its body.
It should be housed in a 30 gallon or larger aquarium with plenty of loose coral rubble, and a tight-fitting lid to prevent it from jumping out of the tank. It requires ample swimming room and a sand bottom for occasional burrowing. In the wild, Lined Dartfish are found in pairs, and should be housed in the home aquarium as such. They are timid around larger fish and should be kept with other peaceful small fish.
The Lined Dartfish diet should include chopped or shaved seafood, brine shrimp, and mysis shrimp.

The Lined Dartfish is a beautiful addition to my tank. I kept it in a 40-gallon with sand and coral rubble. It’s active and hides well when startled. I feed it brine shrimp twice a week and it seems to enjoy it.

I bought a pair and they’ve been getting along well. The tank has a tight lid, which I’m glad I added. They don’t jump much, but they do dig in the sand occasionally. Feeding them mysis shrimp works well.

The coloration is striking with the black and blue stripes. I keep them with small tetras and they seem to coexist peacefully. They’re shy at first but become more active over time.
