Double Saddle Butterfly

This is one of the hardiest members of the family. It will do best if kept with peaceful tankmates and provided with a varied diet. Like any butterfly, if it is picked on initially or feels a threat from tankmates, it may refuse to feed. Keep one per tank unless the tank is very large. It may quarrel with other chaetodontids, especially those that are similar in color, but usually ignores other fish species. It can be employed to clean live rock of glass anemones; however, it will also feed on some of the more desirable invertebrates living on the rock, like fan worms.
