  • African butterfly fish

    Has anyone had any experience with breeding these guys? I still need to learn how to sex them.

    Any hints?
    Trogdor was a man. Or maybe he was a dragon man. Or maybe he was just a dragon. But he was still TROGDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!

    You know, fish are great. I love my fish. But what I really want is a monkey.

    There was an article in one of the last TFHs, I think the one with the flowerhorn on the cover.
    So many things can be a mystery, when all we're seeking is freedom...

        These guys are really cool!
        I used to have a shoal of 5 of these in a 29g with 2 spotted climbing perch and a pair of jewels.
        Was probably one of the coolest tanks i've ever had.

          I have always had success keeping these guys. I have a pair of them, both females. This website helped me sex them. Breeding is not all that difficult from what I hear. Doing the normal food loading is a good start, drop their water down a few inches, then refill with soft-slightly acidic water (compared to the tank). I'm sure temperature plays a role as well, but I'm not sure on details.
