Easy The Threadfin Butterflyfish is easy to care for. Place this fish in a tank of at least 500 liter to make it at home. Keep your salinity within 1.022-1.026 (at 25°C) and temperature between 23-27°C. The Threadfin Butterflyfish likes to eat aiptasia, artemia, big frozen food, coral polyps, flakes, krill, mysis and zooplankton.
This fish is not reefsafe so, if you introduce the Threadfin Butterflyfish to your precious corals, he might be quite thankful to that great welcoming feast you just brought him into.
This fish is peaceful, which means it probably won't attack other fishes. Alas, a lot of peaceful fish do get easily harassed by other, bigger and more aggressive fish. Keep this in mind when mixing different types of fish. Having a lot of hiding places might help in the process.
