| Fast Facts | AVAILABILITY NOTE The Semilarvatus Butterfly is a sporadically available item that sells very fast. Jump on them immediately when available! This stunning Red Sea endemic is among the sturdier butterflies in captivity. Collection and handling of these Red Sea fishes is exemplary and this shows in their consistently predictable adaptability. Like all butterflies, it requires outstanding water quality and must perceive no threat from tankmates, particularly when first introduced into the aquarium. Once acclimated it can gradually become bold and active and can thrive in captivity. A good community fish, it usually ignores unrelated species. Can be kept singly or in small groups. Small specimens are rarely collected, most specimens are collected at around 4"-5". Also known as "Semilarvatus" "Semilavartus" or "Addis" Butterfly. |
