Seychelles Butterflyfish

Chaetodon Butterflyfish should be added to well established aquariums with plenty of room to swim. Plenty of rock work should be provided for grazing and hiding. Chaetodon Butterflyfish may pick at corals and crustaceans. A diet of meaty and algae based foods should be provided multiple times daily. Multiples can be added simutaneously to a large aquarium. Chaetodon Butterflyfish tend to be shy and peaceful but can become territorial if their aquarium is to small.

The Seychelles Butterflyfish is also known as the Indian Ocean Chevron Butterflyfish. Seychelles Butterflyfish are elegantly decorated with silver colored head that fades to white as it moves towards the back of the fish, orange patch at the peduncle, uneven gray stripes on its body, a black band that connects the eyes and a black crown both trimmed in white. Seychelles Butterflyfish can grow to 5".

We recommend a minimum aquarium size of 55 gallons or larger for this species.
