SRC Member kueytoc Posted August 7, 2009 Author SRC Member Share Posted August 7, 2009 Not really Reef-Safe as there is a risk it will nip at sessile invertebrates. This is one of the easier butterflyfish to keep. Hardy, and know to accept a larger span of prepared foods including pellets. Provide plenty of hiding places as this can be a shy and timid species. This fish requires large amounts of live rock for grazing. Most butterflyfish are known to nip at sessile invertebrates including coral and tridacnid clams. This species is known to eat aiptasia in the home aquarium. The diet of the Burgess' Butterflyfish should consist of preparations containing various meaty foods. Finely chopped clams, shrimp, squid, mysis, brine, and krill should all be offered, as well as plenty of algae based products. Maximum Length: 6 in. Care Level: Easy Family: Chaetodontidae Reef Compatibility: Add with caution Minimum Aquarium Size: 55 gallons. Range: Western Pacific: Fiji, Japan, Australia Diet: Omnivore- Meaty fare, & algae. Water Conditions: 74-80 F; sg 1.020-1.025; pH 8.1-8.4 Bro, Sea Life also have 2 x burgess butterfly - rare, deep water planktonic feeder. Considered reef-safe, you may want to try.

SRC Member bugattilambo Posted August 7, 2009 SRC Member Share Posted August 7, 2009 I'm not a tang lover, so cant see myself drop so much money on a tang. But i'm sure there are many tang lovers out there who've been dreaming on this fish. Further more the price given for the gem tang is considered very reasonable. Love to see somebody here getting this fish though. hmm just on the curious part whose gonna bring it in? thanks Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.
