Fourspot Butterflyfish Chaetodon quadrimaculatus
Not to be confused with the similarly named Foureye Butterflyfish (C. capistranus), this is a Pacific species that is generally considered a difficult to keep fish. tends to be shy and is often reluctant to feed, especially if initially housed with boisterous tankmates. Requires a peaceful community tank with several suitable hiding places. Some individuals will rapidly acclimate under these conditions, while others will take more coaxing to caalyze a feeding response. live foods, pieces of live rock with some encrusting invertebrates and algae on them or a tank with a lush growth of filamentous algae will assist in their acclimation.
Feed a varied diet, including meaty foods and frozen preparations.
