Description: African Butterfly fish are named after their unique pelvic fins, that make them appear like a butterfly from above. This fish is a relative of the Arowana. These fish are predators and will eat small fish in the tank. They will do best in a community tank of larger tetras and barbs. This fish is a fantastic option if you are looking for a fish that occupies the upper level of the water column.
