Double Saddle Butterflyfish — quick facts
Care & aquarium requirements
Elegant and finely marked, butterflyfish are long-standing favourites of the marine trade. Robust species like the auriga and raccoon settle well, while specialists need more care — so selecting the right species is key.
Compatibility & reef behaviour
Many butterflyfish nibble coral polyps, so reef compatibility is species-dependent and several suit fish-only systems best. They are otherwise peaceful and thrive in unhurried community tanks.
Export packaging & shipping
Each specimen is conditioned and purged before packing, then bagged in clean, temperature-matched saltwater and charged with pure oxygen for the journey. Bags are insulated in polystyrene boxes and routed for the shortest reliable transit to your airport, helping us hold DOA below 2%.
