Wird auch Malediven-Dreiflosser oder Gestreifter-Dreiflosser (wegen Tripterygiidae Dreiflosser; in engl. )threefin) genannt.
Er wird max. 3 cm groß.
In der Natur findet man ihn nur bei den Malediven (endemisch!), dort man kann ihn oft in Tiefen von 0-2 (max. 10) Metern finden. Er ernährt sich in der Regel von kleinsten Wirbellosen, Zooplankton, Aufwuchs und Algen. Was im ungünstigen Fall ein eingefahrenes Becken erfordert. Oftmals nimmt es aber auch angebotene kleine Artemien und Mysis an.
Das Becken sollte eher eine große Grundfläche haben.
