Overview

The Essential Pakistan Butterflyfish Save 50% Now [lGxOi3wn] is also commonly called the Redtail Butterflyfish, and comes in varying shades of brown to black with white bands on its face. It possesses a bright red tail fin from which it gets its other common name.

In the wild, it feeds off of coral polyps, so caution should be exercised when adding it to a reef tank, as it may nibble at invertebrates. Its diet should consist of various frozen carnivore foods, and meeting it's dietary needs will reduce the chance of it damaging a reef. They can be kept in pairs that should be introduced to the tank at the same time, or with other peaceful community fish but not other butterflies.
