Penelope Skinner –
Bought this butterflyfish for my 60-gallon tank. It’s active and peaceful, doesn’t bother other fish. Grew to about 4.5 inches in a few months. Easy to care for once the tank is stable.
Olivia Terry –
It’s a beautiful fish with vibrant colors. I’ve kept it for over a year and it’s still healthy. Just make sure the tank has plenty of hiding spots and stable water parameters.
Dylan Duncan –
Perfect addition to a community tank. It’s calm and doesn’t eat corals or invertebrates. Grew steadily to 5 inches. Water quality needs to be maintained, but otherwise very easy to keep.
