Butterflyfish
For Marine Aquariums

Butterflyfish are among the reef's most recognizable — and most romantic — residents. Many species genuinely form monogamous pairs that stay together for years, sometimes for life, swimming the reef side by side. Nearly every species also carries a clever piece of natural deception: a dark bar disguising the true eye, paired with a false eyespot near the tail, designed to confuse predators about which end is the head and buy the fish a crucial head start when fleeing. With 29 species in our collection — from the classic Threadfin to the elegant Copperband — there's a Butterflyfish suited to almost any marine aquarium. At Fisheee Aquarium Store Phuket Thailand, we specialize in healthy, well-acclimated Butterflyfish. #FishShopPhuketThailand

    Our Butterflyfish Collection

    Popular species include the Copperband Butterflyfish (Chelmon rostratus), prized for its long snout and genuine usefulness against Aiptasia anemones; the Threadfin Butterflyfish (Chaetodon auriga), one of the hardiest and most widely kept species; the striking Golden Butterflyfish (Chaetodon semilarvatus); and the schooling Pyramid Butterflyfish (Hemitaurichthys polylepis). All Butterflyfish are professionally acclimated and conditioned to accept prepared foods.
