My New Pyramid ButterflyFish

[marinelife]

I had 3 Pyramid ButterflyFish ordered the other day for me, Two came in, one died the next morning.
The LFS is gonna try and get me 2 more so I can have 3 of them.

The one that lived has been eating well on pellets but does not seem to like the frozen food yet. So far the other fish are not bothering it.

Here are some pictures, note the panel was not 100% clean

He is so pretty! So, I see him with corals... is he really reef safe?

 

[marinelife]

So they claim, only time will tell.

looks starved

 

[marinelife]

yeah it is on the thin side but I am working on fixing that!!

Yes they are reef safe. Kevin at Aquatic Dreams in Spokane has kept them in his reefs for years. We have begun putting them in reefs as well. They do fantastic! Good luck with yours

Good choice for a reef.. Not used often but should be. He should plump up fast.

He is doing well so far and eating great. I have two more on order but not sure when they will arrive.
