Longnose Butterflyfish Forcipiger longirostris
With an even more elongated snout than its more common counterpart, F. flavissimus, this species presents more of a challenge to aquarists because its tiny mouth limits it to small food items. Once way to provide appropriate living foods is to keep it in a reef tank or a fish only tank, partially filled with live rock that supports a population of natural prey organisms such as amphipods. Keep only one per tank, except in the case of a male-female pair. House with more passive species. It may quarrel with some other butterflyfish species.
Feed a varied diet including marine fish, crustacean flesh, mysid shrimp and frozen preparations.
