My butteries' tank

[peong]

Recently just setup my FOWLR tank, mainly butteries...(my favourite fish) hopefully can collect as many as possible, Well, I can see now, I have only one big regal, the only angel that I have. Just to share a few pics here.

[Blenny]

was thinking of converting my reef to a fowlr too but don't know what fish to put. ALready have an angel tank and the other was actually thinking of butterflies, now see a real one ......really gian now

[yikai]

wa very nice! got my fav butterfly too! pearlscale! very nice tank! can put longnose butterfly and copperband

[peong]

I tried longnose butterfly b4 but they seem like unable to take pellet, that's y I nv add them in this new setup.

[yikai]

henry hav many longnose now. i got one just now. very good condition, many of them are feeding aggressively. i belive training them to eat pellets are quite hard because of their mouth shape? i dunno. anyway i got one that is feeding on henry's food and mysis. alot of website say they very hardy.

[peong]

very nice indeed, with blue edge at the fins, seem like nv c b4...

[Dispar_Anthias]

Copperbands and longnose due to their mouths shape are not design to feed on pellet food thus mysis and abit of other frozen food will suffice.

Anyway bro peong, beautiful tank. I always wanted to keep a pair of golden butterfly

[peong]

yes, me too. big one better!

[yikai]

i had a copperband which ate pellets last time. really difficult to get it to do that. but it die coz power shortage when i was overseas. so far that was the only copperband i had that ate pellets. the others i tried only ate mysis and frozen food.

Nice fish bro Peong!

Is the Pakistani butterfly easy to feed?

And whats that cage thing?

[peong]

Pakistani butterfly is easy, they even can eat mysis from day1, my eating pellets after a week.

new introductions in the cage:

Blackback Butterfly

Punctato Butterfly

Teardrop Butterfly

Eastern triangular butterflyfish

hv 1 Ornate butterflyfish in other tank, not stable n under monitoring.

[yikai]

some butterflies are hard to keep. like ornate and triangular..

[peong]

yes, i think triangular must easy than ornate, well, always a challenge to keep them.

[yikai]

but i must say ur taste in butterflies are really good.

this is a beautiful specimen too. but i think quite hard also. if can keep it alive it will be really stunning (:

[peong]

Now, rare species seldom c at the lfs, I think not many reefer keeping butterflies that's y.

this thread is 1 year old. if you're looking for a fish i suggest posting in LFS update thread... it's way faster to get a response.

anyway, pakistan butterfly is regularly available in coral farm and pinnacle from time to time.
