Brown Shirakodai Information

Archive Type and Information

Brown Shirakodai	Type	Shirakodai Fish
	Region	Liyue
	Spawn Time	6:00 to 18:00

A gentle, elegant butterflyfish variant. It has a lovely, streamlined dorsal fin, and has the nickname ''Queen of the Waters.''
Earthen-colored patterns run across its body, and its temper is also as steady as stone. They can go a bit overboard, however, and will sometimes lie at the bottom and not move an inch, just like a rock, leading some buyers to think that they've bought some hopelessly moribund old fish.
