butterflyfish

I just received a Collare (Pakistani) Butterfly fish on Tuesday from my favorite online retailer. I have it in QT like I do all my fish. Two days ago, I noticed it had a weird bump on the side of its head. The bump is on the fish's left side, on the white stripe, just above its eye level. I have...

Hello fellow Hobbyists & Reefers! I was doing general research on what I wanted to add to my upcoming tank, and I want to keep a LOT of butterflyfish together. Specifically, I want Three Chaetodon collare also known as the Pakistan Butterflyfish as well as with two other different species of...

I am looking to buy one last fish for my 250+50l reef, and I was looking into the sunburst Butterflyfish. It seems it's the only one that's small enough to be okay to house in a tank that size. My question Is what are your experiences with these fish? I searched this forum and others and it was...

Chaetodon burgessi is one of the hobby's best Butterflyfish. Usually, we just call it the Burgess Butterfly, for its namesake. The fish geekiest among us will recognize that name because they've seen it on their bookcase; Dr. Warren Burgess co-wrote the famous book “Dr Burgess’s Atlas of Marine...

A few weeks ago I made a post asking if there were any butterflyfish in the genus Chaetodon that were safe with coral. I've read many posts about some of my favorite species like the Klein's, Threadfin, Bluelashed, Latticed and Raccoon, where one was added and soon enough coral was eaten. Now...

I've heard a lot of stories where Angelfish like Emperors, Regal, Majestic will eat their LPS and softies but not eat SPS. I really love butterflyfish and know pyramids and zosters, longnose, certain henniochus and copperbands have a decent chance of not eating SPS. But my favorite butterflyfish...

I woke up this morning seeing an area of what looks to be missing scales and some blood on my copperband. I immediately placed him in a quarantine tank as well as doing a freshwater dip. Not sure if this is an injury or some sort of infection/ parasite. No rock inside of the tank is able to be...

He is very healthy just a bit big for my small tank. Selling for $30

Hi guys, Me again - this fish has previously had flukes which I dealt with several FW dips, moving tank in between each one, prazi pro and NT labs antiwork/flukes and he has was fine after that. He's been eating fine and is very active. He had one of these warts before and thought at first...

Hi Guys, So got my first pyramid butterflyfish the other day and sadly he arrived in very bad condition. He wasn't swimming upright and had lots of strange markings on him. He also had some of the flesh of the mouth slightly rotting. I put him in my quarantine tank (which has very clean water...

One of the fish I have always dreamed of owning when I got a large tank was a butterflyfish - specifically a Copperband or Racoon butterflyfish. Now that I've got an established 125g tank (w/Trigger Emerald 34 sump), I was considering getting a Copperband. I made the decision that I wanted to...

I really need help with my Copperband Butterflyfish. I recently purchased it about three days ago. On day one he was not eating, it was only in the evening when I fed it frozen artemia, marine mix, and mussel meat cubes did he eat. On day two; he was eating but it looks like he was not 'fighting...

I just purchased a yellow long-nose butterfly fish. The store manager said he’d be fine in a 55-60 and gave me an OK to keep him in my 50 tall. After some research, recommended size ranges anywhere from 50-125 gallons so I know my tank is small for him. My 50 tall mixed reef has tons of live...

Welp, as some may know I've been reefing since about 2012. I started out with a 2ft cube that I loved and then moved out and in with my partner 4 years ago and took the opportunity to upgrade to a larger system. That tank went well for the first couple years but then after several major issues...

The Cook Islands are about half-way between Hawaii, and Australia. The largest island, Rarotonga, is surrounded by a barrier reef, so the island is circled by a protected lagoon. This first immersion video displays some of the beauty of the sea life found in the lagoon.
