Butterfly fish or what ever.

[SeanTrollope]

Hi guys. Sorry I've been gone a while. But yeah. Race car.

Anyway. I stopped at the lfs today and bam. There they were.

They said that they were butterfly fish but I'm not so sure.

Any way. What are they. And what can or can't they do well with. What water. What size tank. Etc. Please.



And thank you.

Those are African Butterfly Fish, Pantodon buchholzi. I had a pair many years ago. They are not good community fish, so a species tank is best, length and width more important than depth as they remain at the surface and need area, and floating plants. They remain basically motionless until something causes them to attack, so they are an ambush predator. Here is more data:
