:eyeblur:CF...got one & only Indian Butterflyfish/Headband Butterflyfish/Oblique-banded Butterflyfish aka Chaetodon mitratus...3 inch size.

The Indian Butterflyfish is one of the easiest butterflyfish to keep in the aquarium and will work well with a variety of tank mates !

The Indian Butterflyfish or Headband Butterflyfish is one of these very handsome and attractive marine fish. It is a very popular butterflyfish among aquarists but commands a high price.

No special care is needed to maintain the Indian Butterflyfish. It will immediately accept foods even when first introduced to the aquarium, and It will take a variety of foods. When it is well acclimated it will go up to the surface to take foods from its keepers. Though not a very quick swimmer, it swims freely and usually spends a good deal of its time in the open water. Many reef-keepers hope to keep it in a mini reef, but like many butterflyfish it can be a coral eater if living corals are maintained. It can be kept for several years with twelve years being the record.

:eyeblur:CF...also have Sri Lankan exotic Goby, Long-finned Fairy Wrasseys, Yashas pair, somewhat rare nice-sized Griffis Angel aka Apolemichthis griffisi. :yeah:

:pirate:Hurry Hurry !!! :eyebrow:

Note: Popular among rare angelfish enthusists, this species is among the safer choices for the reef aquarium, other than members of the genus Centropyge or Genicanthus. Does well in captivity like the closely related but slightly more obtainable Goldflake Angel. The Griffis Angel is ususlly around 3"-4", rarely are they much larger or smaller. This is generally an exceptionally passive fish and it should be housed only with docile tankmates.

Although certainly not without risk, this is among the safer "full sized" angels that is kept in reef aquariums.

:yeah:CF...got a juvenile 2.5 inch size Chrysurus Angel aka Pomacanthus chrysurus.

Also known as the Ear Spot Angelfish, the Chrysurus angel fish is one of the few marine angelfish imported from Africa. The adult Chrysurus angelfish has a blue/black body fading to a tan color around the head. The vertical stripes of the Chrysurus angel are white on the body with electric blue lines around the face. The Chrysurus angel has a striking yellow tail.

May eat some soft corals and nip at large Polyped stony corals, zooanthids and clams. Smaller specimens are less risky.

When they are available, the Chrysurus angel is an exceptional choice for anyone interested in keeping rare angelfish and the dedicated hobbyist should move fast ! :eyebrow:
