Moderate This fish is considered a moderately difficult one. Read well into how to care for this fish and which tank mates it needs, so you can take good care of it. This fish doesn't take pleasure in swimming in smaller aquariums, it needs at least 750 liter to feel good. Keep your salinity within 1.022-1.025 (at 25°C) and temperature between 23-27°C. The Vagabond Butterflyfish likes to eat artemia, big frozen food, clam meat, coral polyps and flakes.
This fish is not reefsafe so, if you introduce the Vagabond Butterflyfish to your precious corals, he might be quite thankful to that great welcoming feast you just brought him into.
We consider the Vagabond Butterflyfish to be a semi-aggressive fish. Be careful when introducing it to your less (or more) aggressive fish. It is, however, not a fish that will be the terror of your tank.
