Pebbled 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 Pebbled Butterflyfish is also known as the Multiband or Hawaiian Striped Butterflyfish. Rarely seen in the aquarium trade. The Pebble Butterflyfish is quite attractive with its mainly white body, numerous yellow to brown vertical stripes, black eye stripe and pale blue dorsal and anal fins. Pebbled Butterflyfish can grow to 5".
