The fish is active and peaceful in my 60-gallon tank. It has adapted well to the environment and shows no signs of aggression. The coloration is vibrant and it’s a great addition to a community tank with non-aggressive species.

I bought this fish for my intermediate-level aquarium. It’s calm and stays near the back of the tank. I’ve noticed it feeds well on small crustaceans and algae. Needs a stable environment, but overall it’s a good choice.

After a few weeks, the butterflyfish has become a regular sight in the tank. It doesn’t disturb other fish and seems to thrive in the 60-gallon setup. The size is within the expected range and it looks healthy.
