An active and engaging addition for the intermediate aquarist.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Raffles Butterflyfish (*Chaetodon rafflesii*), also known as the Latticed Butterflyfish, showcases a brilliant yellow body adorned with dark scale margins, creating a distinctive cross-hatched pattern. A striking black bar runs through its eye, complemented by a blue patch on its forehead and a bold vertical stripe on its tail. This elegant species is an active swimmer, gracefully navigating its environment and adding dynamic beauty to your tank.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Care Level<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This species is considered moderate to intermediate in care, best suited for experienced marine aquarists. It exhibits a generally peaceful temperament towards most tank mates, but may show aggression towards other butterflyfish, especially conspecifics. Avoid housing with corals, anemones, or ornamental shrimp, as it is not reef-safe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tank Essentials<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A minimum of 280 litres (approximately 75 gallons) is recommended for a single Raffles Butterflyfish to ensure ample swimming space. Maintain stable water parameters: pH 8.1-8.4, and a temperature of 22-27\u00b0C. A well-established tank with plenty of live rock for hiding and foraging is crucial for healthy aquarium fish.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Diet<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Raffles Butterflyfish is omnivorous with a carnivorous tendency. Offer a varied diet of high-quality meaty foods, such as mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and finely chopped seafood. Supplement with spirulina or algae-based flakes occasionally to ensure comprehensive nutrition.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why Buy From Us<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When you buy Raffles Butterflyfish online from Corais de Vidro, you receive ethically sourced, responsibly quarantined specimens.
