Rainford's butterflyfish

The Rainford's butterflyfish lives in the reef-associated, marine, depth range 1 - 15 m environment.

A pretty butterflyfish, the Rainford's Butterflyfish is occasionally available, though a rather expensive species. Because this is one of the most difficult butterflyfish to keep in a captive environment it is best reserved for only the expert aquarist. More

Rainford's Butterflyfish can be recognised by its colouration. The fish is yellow with a dark-margined orange bar though the eye and a narrower orange bar through the pectoral base. There are two blue-grey bands with yellow-orange margins on the body. More

The Rainford's Butterflyfish requires a 70 gallon or larger aquarium that contains peaceful tank mates to smooth its transition to aquarium life. The Rainford's Butterflyfish survives by eating corals in the wild and has a difficult time adjusting to a new diet. More
