Latin NameChaetodon punctatofasciatusCommon NamePunctato ButterflyAlso known asDot Dash ButterflyFast FactsVery similar to the http://www.marinecenter.com/fish/butterflyfish/pelewensisbutterfly/">Pelewensis Butterfly</a>, this species generally does well in captivity, although like all butterflies, it requires optimal water quality and the perfect surroundings to do well. It should be kept with only peaceful tankmates and provide it a varied diet. Like any butterfly, if it is picked on initially or feels a threat from tankmates, it may refuse to feed. It may quarrel with other chaetodontids, but usually ignores other fish species. Provide it with a varied diet.SizesSmall/Around 1"-2"
