African butterfly

I know some things about them from research and experience from my old work. However, I have not kept them personally untill now. I have one currently in a 20gal long. I feed 3 crickets a night. I'm trying to get a breeding colony of crickets to feed him so I don't have to run to the store every week. Tell me about your expriences with them besides that they jump out of the tank.

Does nothing allday until it's feeding time, then goes cruising putting whatever it can find in it's mouth.

Cool lookin fish. If you try and catch them at nite apparantly they go hunting, will even swim mid depth in the tank.

THey hate water changes, really pi**es them off.

Dunno how they do in pairs? Fancied gettin another.

Never forget & leave the lid open! I've lost every one of mine that way.

Here's a link to an article I wrote on the African Butterfly Fish. Maybe you'll find some useful information in it:
