Well... actually they're African Butterfly fish. I have been looking for these for a month or two now and can you guess where I found them? Walmart of all places!!!:eek:
They had just gotten 6 in a few days ago and there were only 3 left... so I snatched them right up! They're still a little ragged, but they seem to be enjoying their new tank!:D

nice pickups, but cover that tank ASAP! They will fly out first opportunity they get!
 
:cry::cry::cry:
One of my Butterflies passed on! I think he had internal damage. His stomach area was all red.
My other 2 seem to be doing okay though!
 
they are an awesome set of fish
but their inactivity for most of the time is what has kept me from buying them
 
One of my butterflies doesn't seem interested in food. How do I get him/her to eat? I've tried mealworms and flour beetles, but to no avail. I even cut the head off the beetle, so the butterfly could smell it. He took a snap at it, but lost interest. Any suggestions?
The other one is fine and loves to eat.
