The butterflyfish is active and colorful. It has adapted well to my 55-gallon tank with other reef fish. Easy to observe and maintains a calm presence. Great addition to a reef setup.
Owen Langdon –
It’s a beautiful fish and fits well in the tank. I noticed it spends time near the coral, which is a good sign. Needs a stable environment, but overall it’s a satisfying pet.
