Unique surface fish with fascinating behaviour, ideal for calm aquariums
The Pantodon buchholzi, also known as the African butterflyfish, is a species native to the calm zones of West Africa. This surface-dwelling fish is famous for its spectacular pectoral fins, which enable it to leap out of the water to catch insects. It brings a majestic and atypical presence to any well-covered aquarium.
A calm but predatory species: it can cohabit with peaceful medium-sized fish, but is likely to consume smaller ones. The tank should be well covered to prevent jumping, with a clear surface area and floating vegetation. To be kept alone or in pairs in an aquarium of at least 120 L.
Strict carnivore: feeds on insects, larvae, artemia, worms and small fish. See our carnivorous and live foods adapted to its diet.
