might WTS declivis butterflyfish

[yikai]

Hello friends,

am considering to sell this declivis butterflyfish. Going to add a new roaps butterflyfish and IF they don't play well together, then this fella has to go. so just gauging interest for now. might not sell it if the two fishes do not fight so don't be dissapointed if i don't sell it.

asking price $200. price in LFS is around this price. fish has been with me for very long, eats anything, no disease and very fat.

declivis butterfly is a member of the roaps sub genus and all butterflies in this group are extremely hardy and fairly disease resistant. no problem in getting them to feed even on shipment day.

attached a picture of it being hand fed with mysis. and another pic of it being cleaned.

******* potential buyers please note that this fish is fairly reef safe as far as butterflies go. this fish does not live in shallow water reefs unlike many of it's relative. rather, it lives in deeper water where there's plenty of rubble rock and not much corals.

however, there's a risk it might eat your corals so if i'm planning to sell it, i'm not letting it go to anyone who cannot afford to take some risk.

it has not taken a bite of anything except fish food and liverock in my tank since day 1.

yes i have F. flavissimus.

F. longirostris is available in singapore. search harder, it can be found. but it's quite rare. i only see it occasionally.

you know how to differentiate right?

Longirostris vs flavissimus:

longer nose vs shorter nose.

black mask covers the whole eye vs black mask covering only half the eye

chest has tiny black spots vs chest without spots

longirostris is harder to keep tha flavissimus.

flavisimmus is VERY VERY easy. eats mysis almost instantly.

thanks everybody for the response.

i have enough potential buyers already.

yah these butterflies seldom arrive in bad shape and eat very soon after.
