Our New Itty, Bitty Friend
Got this very tiny latticed butterfly last week for our 120g softie tank. It's finally eating up a storm after a shaky start competing with five blue/green chromis that have been in the tank for a couple of months and act like I never feed them :razz: Size comparison is about right, though I think the chromis is a little closer to the camera giving it a slightly larger appearance than it actually is. But make no mistake, the butterfly is really tiny, slightly less than 2" in length:

Reminds me of my black back and pakistani. Yah, they will eat the softies/zoos for sure. Bah, it's a trade off for beautiful fish !
:biggrin: |
This fish was eating zoos in Cindy's tank, but I no longer have zoos in any tank. The 120g has GSP, brown star polyps, loads of zenia, shrooms, various macroalgae. The 120g also once housed a much larger pearlscale (RIP :cry: ) that did nibble the corals and MA in that tank. But the 120g was set up to house either a dwarf angel or a butterfly, so I don't mind the coral nibbling. Just love this little fish already :cool: Has the personality of our pearlscale, only much, much smaller :lilangel:

Hey Bev, are there any type of butterfly that don't nibble at zoos and other corals. I'd love to get one but not at the expense of my corals.
