The Klein’s Butterflyfish arrived healthy and active. They’ve been in my tank for two months and are very peaceful, swimming calmly among my other fish. I feed them a mix of meaty pellets and spirulina, and they stay vibrant. Great choice for a beginner-friendly, colorful fish.

I was worried about introducing a new species, but the fish adapted quickly. Their yellow body with brown bands is stunning. They don’t chase other fish and coexist well with my guppies and neon tetras. Feeding them daily keeps them lively.

The fish look exactly as described. They’re active but not aggressive. I’ve been feeding them a varied diet and they seem to enjoy it. A little more research on tank size would help, but overall a solid addition to my community tank.
