The Oman Black Spotted Butterfly is a striking addition to my 60-gallon tank. It’s peaceful and active, and its black spots stand out well against the water. I’ve kept it for three months and it’s thriving. Easy to spot and maintain, though I do need to monitor water parameters regularly.

This fish looks beautiful in the tank. It’s not aggressive and doesn’t bother other fish. I was a bit worried about compatibility, but it’s fine in a community setup with non-reef species. Needs a stable environment, but overall a great choice for intermediate aquarists.

I bought this for my new aquarium, and it’s been a joy to watch. The fish is active and colorful, and it doesn’t stress other tank mates. I’ve maintained good water quality, and it’s grown steadily over the past two months.
