reef butterfly fish or Bank butterfly fish


Hi,

Does anyone know where I could find a pair of reef butterfly fish ( Chaetodon sedentarius) or a pair of Bank butterfly. ( Prognathodes aya) I've looked high and low and can't seem to find a pair much less one for sale anywhere (online or local) If anyone could point me in the right direction I'd be much appreciative.

TIA

i hope they are going into a fowlr tank . i tried a pair of sedentarius and they were a headache ! they were together in a quarintine tank for almost two weeks , got along great - within five minutes of putting them in my 180 the larger chased and harrassed the smaller real bad . so i removed the larger and the smaller started picking on every coral i had . both are gone ! i love the butterflies but won't put them in a reef tank ever again . if you are doing fowlr then also look at the capistratus ( four eye ) .
