1 Avoid keeping butterflyfish of the same species and the same size together. Butterflyfish of different species and genera do not have this concern. Butterflyfish that have been kept in the aquarium for a longer time do not like new fish moving in, and they will ram and attack each other. In such cases, attention must be paid to isolation. Places for the fish to hide must be set up in the aquarium. 2 Beginners and people who are busy with work are not suitable for keeping butterflyfish of a size that is too large or too small. Because small butterflyfish have small mouths and eat slowly, their food is often snatched away by larger fish or fish that eat quickly. For small butterflyfish under 3cm, they must be fed fine food several times a day.

3 Small butterflyfish like to peck at the external parasites on the bodies of other fish with their mouths. If the object being pecked at is an injured fish, it is very likely to worsen the other fish's condition. In addition, arc bacteria disease is contagious, and once the fish pecks at this pathogen, the fish itself will also become ill. Therefore, it is best to isolate the sick fish.

4 Because the species differ, some large butterflyfish often cannot immediately adapt to the environment after being moved from the sea to the aquarium, especially they cannot adapt to the change in food. At this time, the keeper must be extremely patient in luring and acclimating the fish to food.

5 When keeping butterflyfish, try to feed a variety of foods and avoid using a single feed.

6 Small sea anemones, corals and other invertebrates must not be kept together with butterflyfish. Because butterflyfish feed mainly on these invertebrates in the sea.

Finally, keepers of the white-lipped double-band bannerfish should be reminded that this fish likes to lie on its side in the dark, with its belly facing upward. This is their habit. When this happens, there is no need to make a fuss. As long as there is sufficient light, they will return to a normal swimming posture after a few minutes.
