Added this butterflyfish to my 55-gallon tank after researching compatible species. It’s active and peaceful, doesn’t bother other fish. The coloration is vibrant and it’s easy to spot in the tank. Feeding is straightforward with high-quality flakes. Has been thriving for three months.
Gavin Watson –
Grew this in a 50-gallon tank with live rock and corals. It stayed calm and didn’t eat any of the soft corals. Only eats a few flakes daily. Good for intermediate aquarists who want a colorful, non-aggressive fish.
Brian May –
The fish arrived healthy and has been active since setup. It swims gracefully and blends well with the tank decor. No issues with compatibility or feeding. A solid choice for a peaceful, colorful addition.
