Ornate Butterflyfish
Snapshot: Rocking a sleek white body with flashy orange to orange-brown diagonal bands, these fish bring the style! On their heads, they’ve got two sharp black bars with bold yellow edges — one giving them a masked look across the eyes, and the other adding flair right on the snout.
Other tidbits: Can grow up to 18cm. Widely distributed throughout the Indo-Pacific region.
Bare bones must know: Live-rock fish-only system, or fish-only system.
Aquarium set-up: 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!
