Butterflyfish in Your Reef?! In this episode, we discuss the most noticed fish in our tank, the Yellow Pyramid Butterflyfish. While most butterflyfish aren't great inhabitants in reef tanks, nipping and destroying coral, Yellow Pyramid Butterflies are the exception to the rule. We'll share the best size tank for this type of fish, in addition to our thoughts on temperament and adding duos and trios of butterflies to your tank.

Thanks for sharing this! I'm very much looking forward now to getting a Pyramid Butterfly or even a few - in my new 120 gal. mixed reef. Butterfly fish have long been on my wish list, but since most are considered not to be reef safe & I want my tank(s) to appear as real/ natural as possible. This is very exciting news & I'll be sharing this info on my Reef groups on FB!

Definitely eye catching, not only to have a butterfly in the tank, but the amount of white colour is rarely seen in any other fishes. Does your trio “school” together most of the time? What is the difference with the ones from Australia?

@Hawaii_Gardens 4 жыл бұрын

A beauty no doubt, but I think 4-6" is a bit oversized ... I like to cut the "1% rule" in half (e.g. 2" max size for a 400) so the fish aren't the predominant display feature on the reef. In the wild, reefs are massive structures with a tiny biomass of fish. While a good reef tank can certainly handle the larger bioload, aesthetically reef tanks with fish which pop in and out of view are (IMHO) more engaging.

Is it safe to have a clam in a tank with a pyramid butterflyfish? would you still say they are still reef safe in an LPS tank ro even around zoas?

I bought a pair of yellow pyramid butterfly fish. Put them through 6 weeks of Qt only for my yellow tang to go mad and attack them as soon as I put them in the tank. It was so bad that one died of its injuries within a few hours and the other died from the constant bullying with a couple of days. Never seen my tang attack any other fish I put in the tank. Not sure what to do as I really want a pair of these lovely fish in my reef.

@lisadimercurio9473 4 жыл бұрын

How big is your tank? If you want to try again put your tang in the sump for a few weeks until the pyramids get some established but even this is not always a guarantee.

How big is your yellow tang ? Because I was thinking about putting a pair of pyramid butterfly’s in my 150 reef tank but I have a tomini tang in there and it’s about 4- 5 inches hoping he doesn’t pick at them , he sadly harassed my bicolor fox face when I put him in for about a couple days and then stopped
