The blackwedged butterflyfish has been thriving in my 100-gallon reef tank for six months. It’s active but not aggressive and blends well with other fish. Easy to spot and maintain with regular water changes.

I added this butterflyfish to my intermediate reef setup. It’s calm and doesn’t stress other inhabitants. The size is within the expected range and it’s a beautiful addition to the tank.

After a few weeks, the fish settled in well. It’s peaceful, doesn’t chase other fish, and has adapted to the lighting and water parameters. A great choice for reef hobbyists with some experience.
