Punctato Butterflyfish
Chaetodon punctatofasciatus
The Punctato Butterflyfish is a vibrant, smaller species of butterflyfish. It features a tan and yellow body with distinct black vertical stripes. As it matures, the Punctato Butterflyfish becomes more yellow. This species grows up to 5 inches and requires a minimum tank size of 55 gallons. Known for its peaceful nature, the Punctato Butterflyfish coexists well with other fish and invertebrates but may nibble on coral, making it unsuitable for reef tanks. Best kept in fish-only aquariums with plenty of live rock for hiding, the Punctato Butterflyfish spends its time grazing on small invertebrates and algae. As omnivores, they thrive on a diet rich in both meaty and plant-based foods, including nori, marine algae sheets, mysis shrimp, and high-quality pellets. For any inquiries about the Punctato Butterflyfish and its compatibility with your aquarium, feel free to reach out.
