I saw a small 2 1/2 - 4" Dot Dash Butterflyfish at my lfs last Sunday for $16, and when I went back today it was still there. I don't know much about them except that they get 5". I'd like to know if they are hard to feed, hard to take care of, and if it'd be compatible with my Coral Beauty Angelfish and Cinnamon Clownfish in my 75 gallon FOWLER tank. Personal experience/stories would help if you them.

Butterfly fish are often very difficult to feed, impossible in some cases. They are not really a fish I'd suggest to many if any people. One of those fish that seem to just do better kept in the ocean.

Thanks for the reply. I went to the store to get the fish(before your reply), and I noticed that it had a few sugary granules on its fins, so I decided not to get it.
