Plectorhinchus diagrammus. The Yellow Lined Sweetlips also known as the Striped Sweetlips, is a slender sweetlips fish that can grow up to 20 inches. The Yellow Lined Sweetlips are notoriously difficult to keep in home marine aquariums. Therefore it is recommended that only expert or very experienced aquarists attempt to keep the Yellow Lined Sweetlips in their tanks. Further, even small fluctuations of conditions within the tank can make the Yellow Lined Sweetlip unruly and unwilling to feed. The Yellow Lined Sweetlips requires a meaty diet and to be fed 2-3 times a day. Live or frozen food will suffice.
