Golden Butterflyfish Information The Golden Butterflyfish Chaetodon semilarvatus is an extraordinary beauty that hails out of the Red sea. It is frequently seen in coral reefs and is often seen hanging beneath the Acropora Plate corals. It is an ideal fish for divers who want to observe and take photos of, and is typically frightened, which allows it to be approached from a distance. This beautiful fish is highly sought-after by aquarium enthusiasts. This is a popular butterfly fish. It's an incredible species due to its dimensions, vivid colors and graceful swimming moves. Adults can grow to incredible lengths of around 12 inches (30 cm) in the wild, however, they're more common at approximately 9 inches (23 centimeters). The color pattern is impressive. There's a strong dark blueish mask that contrasts nicely against its bright yellow body, and the delicate striping of red. These characteristics have been influential in many other popular names under which it's called, such as Masked Butterflyfish, Bluecheek Butterflyfish, Blue Mask Butterflyfish, Red-lined Butterflyfish, Addis Butterflyfish, and Blue Cheeked Butterflyfish.

Helpful Questions From Clients
Frequently Asked Questions
Is hiring a professional necessary to set up a saltwater aquarium?

As a general rule, a larger custom aquarium might require installation by a professional. However, a kit from our online fish store is relatively affordable and beginner friendly. That means you should have no problem setting it up yourself.

Which saltwater aquarium fish should you choose when starting out?

Consider a yellow tang fish. This popular saltwater aquarium fish does a great job of coexisting with other types of fish you’ll find in our online fish store.

How does a saltwater aquarium differ from a freshwater one?

Saltwater aquariums require a bit more maintenance and monitoring than freshwater tanks. Different fish require different levels of salinity, pH tolerances, and temperature requirements. They also require specialized pumps, filters, and other equipment that can handle salt. We can guide you through everything you need to know to set up a healthy, thriving reef tank.

Do fish in a saltwater aquarium swim in a school?

That depends on the species. However, if it’s a fish that swims in a school in the wild, they’ll do the same in an aquarium. Some fish that swim in schools include the green and blue chromis, cardinalfish, and dartfish, for example. When ordering from an online fish store, make sure you do your research on how specific fish species behave to ensure they’ll school (or at least coexist) with your current fish.

Is the effort required to maintain a saltwater aquarium worth it?

Yes! Many aquarists dream of owning thriving saltwater aquariums. You have a tiny piece of the ocean in your home, featuring magical and exotic fish that can only survive in saltwater.
