Looking for Butterflies.

[biglurr54]

I am in the process of building a Butterflyfish reef tank. I currently have a happy healthy Copperband Butterfly fish. I have been searching for a Heniochus Diphreutes for about a year now with no luck. One came in to Liveaquaria but I didn't get my order placed fast enough. I was wondering if anyone knows why these fish don't seem to be collected or at least offered in the United States. I would like to eventually get three of them to have a mini school. From my research they are very wide spread and abundant. Does anyone know how to track one down or make a request to a supplier? I am on a mailing list with Bluezoo and Liveaquaria. I check NYaquatics regularly as well. Are there any other channels for obtaining fish? Anyone living in Hawaii want to grab one for me? I am also looking for a Millet Butterfly, so again if you live in Hawaii grab me one of them as well please!

Try Petsolutions and Amongthereef.

Remember too that some species are seasonal, for whatever reason.
I was looking for a Pyramid for almost a year, finally found one online. The next week 3 out of 4 of my LFS had them in stock. Go figure.

Yea. I've noticed that with the pyramids. When did you get your pyramid? I'm hoping that's the case for the heniochus but it's been over a year.

I am very jealous of your pyramid. Pretty fish.
