SRC Member onizukaa Posted October 25, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted October 25, 2010 Quote from hubpages website: Behavior : They usually dwell from bottom to top and across all the areas of the tank. They’ll often hide under stone/marble cave if there is any else they’ll lurk around live rock. They’re peaceful towards other peaceful tank-mates but they’ll often have conflicts with other butterfly fishes like Copperband butterfly fish and Racoon Butterfly fish. Also don’t place them with tang fishes. They’re not reef tank safe and will often attack other small invertebrate & small coral. They’re popular in aquarium trade so there will not be much hassle to find and purchase them. In such case you can order them online. Their cost starts from 27$ onwards. You can keep multiple specimen inside one tank and there will not be much conflict if the tank is larger. For large saltwater aquarium setup they’ll put a good show.
