I couldn't find any info about this fish on this forum. It's the most beautiful butterfly I've ever seen and I want to get it on Liveaquaria. Anyone who keeps this species? Thoughts?

I believe it's the same thing as a pelewensis. If I remember correctly they don't like being housed with other butterflies like some other species like latticed or pearlscale butterflies. If you want one that doesn't mind being housed I believe spot banded butterflies look similar but don't mind other butterflies. Also I've read that they can be finicky with eating but all the ones (granted it's only been like 2) ate, but none of them ate for a couple of days.
