The **Double Saddle Butterflyfish** is a visually striking and vibrant species of butterflyfish. These fish feature a predominantly white body adorned with two prominent black saddle-like patterns and a distinctive black eye-stripe. The **Double Saddle Butterflyfish** also boasts an impressive rear quarter.

Reaching up to 6 inches in length, the **Double Saddle Butterflyfish** requires a minimum tank size of 125 gallons. Known for their peaceful nature, they coexist well with other fish and invertebrates. However, they are not suitable for reef aquariums as they tend to consume various corals, including SPS and soft corals.

Ideal for larger fish-only setups, the **Double Saddle Butterflyfish** adds a vibrant splash of color to any tank. They should not be kept with overly aggressive species like certain triggers. These fish spend much of their time grazing on live rock for small invertebrates and algae, making a well-established live rock environment beneficial.

As omnivores, the **Double Saddle Butterflyfish** thrives on a diet rich in both meaty and plant-based foods. They do well with marine algae sheets, nori, mysis and brine shrimp, high-quality flake and pellet foods, and premium meaty frozen foods.
