Chevron Butterflyfish Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping Chevron Butterflyfish in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: advanced
• Temperament: territorial
• Diet: herbivore
• Minimum tank size: 120 gallons (450 liters)
• Compatibility: Best kept singly or as a mated pair in a large, mature reef aquarium with abundant live Acropora corals. Not suitable for community tanks with aggressive species or other butterflyfish. May nip at other corals if Acropora is not sufficiently available.
• Special requirements: Requires a highly mature reef aquarium with a thriving population of live Acropora corals for feeding. Without its specific coral diet, it will slowly starve. Excellent water quality and stable parameters are crucial. Provide ample swimming space and hiding spots. Very sensitive to stress and changes in environment.
