Aquarium Related Tips

1. You should always research the different types of fish you are going to be housing together.  Certain fish can be extremely aggressive and cannot be paired with other fish of different temperaments.


2. Avoid placing your aquarium near a radiator or any other form of heater.  The heat given off by these devices can easily upset the temperature balance in your aquarium.  Raised temperature levels can kill off the fish and plants that you have in your aquarium.


3. Only use medication in your aquarium when you are out of other options.  You should use a separate tank to medicate sick fish as some medications can have harmful effects on healthy fish.

Raccoon Butterfly; Haw.

$129.95

(chaetodon lunula)
Saltwater

Native to the Indo-Pacific Oceans, it can be confused with its "cousin," the Red Sea Raccoon. The difference is in the tails. This fish has a yellow tail with a line of black at the very end and a black peduncle. The Red Sea has orange and yellow alternating stripes, with a black band on the end, and no peduncle. A very hardy fish, it is a good choice for eating pesky aiptasia anemones in a reef tank. A difficult eater in captivity who needs time and patience.

Size: sm. 1 1/2"-2"; med. 2"-3"; lg. 3"-4"; xl. 4"-6"
Tank: min.80 gallon
Temperament: Peaceful
Food: (Carnivore) A difficult, picky eater who, when feeling threatened, will refuse to eat. May have to tempt with small anemones until eating. Then a varied diet of crustacean flesh, mysid shrimp and frozen preparations are appropriate. Feed several times a day.
Light: High
Adaptation: Needs plenty of hiding places and room to swim. May not eat properly until acclimated. The medium sized fish acclimate much better than the smaller fish.
Compatibility: Not a reef fish. It will eat coral polyps and invertebrates. Needs a fish only, community tank with other butterflyfish and peaceful tank-mates.
