Sanchez - 2004-09-15 I have bought one Klein butterflyfish from the local marine fish shop, and I have to say that I have fallen in love with this fish. It is not only hardy, but also clever and cute. I used to put the live Athemias in the strainer and feed my fishes with holding Athemias in the strainer, and suddenly a Klein butterflyfish got into the strainer to eat Athemia, so I could feel his movement, I could really play with him. I recommend beginners to buy this fish. In my opinion, it is fairly pretty. His colour would change to be a bit dull at night time. Now I also have other species of butterflyfish, Angelfish, Clownfish, Wrasses, Tangs, Cardinal, Dottyback as his tankmates, and they can cope well.

The Klein's Butterflyfish is fairly small and durable, making it a great fish for the beginning marine aquarium enthusiasts!

This is my favorite butterflyfish. Even though I am an expert marine aquarist, I still like to keep them.
