Maintain these water conditions for optimal health and vibrant colors
Freshwater Butterflyfish is a distinctive African surface fish with wing-like pectoral fins and an upturned mouth built for taking insects from the waterline. It is best for aquarists who can provide calm surface water, floating cover and a tight-fitting lid.
Use a covered aquarium with gentle flow, floating plants and open feeding gaps. Choose calm midwater or bottom-dwelling companions too large to swallow, and avoid hatchetfish, tiny guppies, small shrimp and fin nippers.
Livestock is packed for overnight travel with a licensed live-animal courier and covered by our Live Arrival Guarantee.
