Fast Facts

AVAILABILITY NOTE
Although this fish is semi regularly available, it is never plentiful. Order for shipping on Monday for best availability.

This species is moderately hardy, although it usually takes it a while for individuals to adjust to aquarium foods. Like most butterflies, it should not be kept by beginners or casual hobbyists. If it is harassed by tankmates, or if the aquarist spends too much time with his or her hands in the tank when they are first introduced, they will not acclimate to the captive environment. Provide this fish with peaceful tankmates, plenty of shelter with overhangs or cave to hide in.
