Teardrop Butterfly - Africa

Chaetodon unimaculatus


(1 Reviews)

The Teardrop Butterfly, Chaetodon unimaculatus, has a yellow body with a black eye band and a tearing eye spot on the upper part of the body. They are very hardy and peaceful and can be kept with other peaceful fish, but may become aggressive towards other Butterflies with a similar pattern or coloration in smaller tanks.

They are also not reef safe since they will nip at and eat soft corals and stony polyps as well as ornamental shrimp, tube worms and anemones. Diet should include a variety of mysis and vitamin enriched brine shrimp, spirulina, nori, seaweed, marine algae, and algae based foods, 2-3 times daily.

What a beautiful Fish! The images on the website do not do this marine life justice. The Teardrop Butterfly - Africa was hungry and ate right away.
