Say hello to my new Parachaetodon ocellatus

[SDguy]

These two looked so fat, healthy and active at the LFS, I couldn't resist. They were picking at the rocks at the LFS, so hopefully feeding won't be a problem.

Thanks, I'm a sucker for striped butterflies, apparently.

Wow ! Mated pair ?

Not sure... they are young/small, but followed each other around in the LFS, so I'm hopeful. I've also seen many wild pics of them in groups, so I don't think they will kill each other (fingers crossed)

Beautiful fish Peter, I wish my LFS would get cool stuff once in a while. Best of luck with them, Im sure they'll be great

Thanks Brett... honestly, it is not a LFS that gets rare fish... I was TOTALLY shocked to see them there!

...looked fat, healthy and active...They were picking at the rocks at the LFS.

Congratulations! Someone taught me this trick a while ago especially when looking for fishes that is not so easy to keep. they told me to spent my time and look carefully, try to spot one that is picking at the rocks or glass wall. I have great success with this note.
