Mulleri Butterflyfish
Snapshot: The Mulleri Butterflyfish flaunts bold black vertical bands on a silver body, seamlessly fading into a rust-colored tail. Its long, narrow nose and mouth are perfect tools for hunting in crevices and holes for food.
Other tidbits: Can grow up to 18cm or so. Endemic to the reefs of Australia.
Bare bones must know: Best suited to a live-rock fish only system. Top-notch water quality.
Aquarium set-up: To cater to its shyness, create an ideal environment by offering plenty of hiding spots, caves and crevices. Load up on live rock for primo hideouts from the glare. Maintain an aquatic utopia by nailing the basics: rock-solid water quality with top-notch filtration and routine partial water changes.
Feeding: Keep the butterflyfish menu diverse by serving up frozen or live treats like brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, and chopped seafood. Don't forget top-notch marine flakes or pellets for balanced nutrition.
AQT note: All our fish feast on a diet of seaweed, marine pellets, flakes and frozen treats under our care. Keep the feast going in your tank!
