Vagabond Butterfly Care Facts

Care Level: Moderate
Temperament: Peaceful
Diet: Omnivore
Reef Safe: No
Minimum Tank Size: 120 gallons
Max Size: 9 inches
The Vagabond Butterfly, Chaetodon vagabundus, has a silvery white body with intersecting faint black diagonal lines, two dark black bands over its eyes, and a bright yellow tail. 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.

These guys are doing GREAT! Ate lots of food the first night. Highly recommended! Not shy either. Mine was out and about the first day.
