Hey There, I have been out of the hobby for about 6 years now. I had a 75 gallon FOWLR for a few years before having to sell it because i was moving. I really enjoyed the hobby and have wanted to get back into it for a while now, but my memory on compatibility is a bit off now. I am deciding...

Trying to identify these? They came on a little rock and then spread across a lot of my tank, and I was a big fan.. now after a year or so they've rapidly mostly disappeared over the past couple weeks (can't find anything obviously wrong with water quality). I don't know what they're called to...

Hi i am looking to get a couple of more fish for my 6ft tank i was just wondering are the copperband butterflys reef safe?

I've had a longnose butterfly for about 2 weeks now. When I first got him, he was eating the frozen Mysis shrimp I was feeding. However for the past 2 days he wants nothing to do with the Mysis. What else should I be feeding? I only feed once a day, in the evenings.

I have a one spot foxface who changes colors very often depending where in the tank (55 gal) he is hanging out. I also have a butterfly who has a white body lots of yellow trim around body on all fins and a black stripe down his head across his eyes. My one spot foxface has been hanging out...

The title says it all. I watched him eat at the store but when we got home, he doesn't look like he has touched anything. It has been about 36 hours since I got him home and acclimated. From time to time he looks like he is stressed in the way that he is swimming but for the most part nothing...

Hi everybody. I would like to get a pyramid butterfly sometime and I was wondering if anyone could tell me about them or give me a good link. All I know is that they are reef safe and are planktivores. Thanks!

Hello, I am thinking about getting either a Saddleback Butterfly (Chaetodon ephippium) or a Longnose Butterly (Forcipiger flavissimus) for my aquarium that will eventually have corals. I know that some individuals of these species are more reef safe than others of the same species, but in...
