This species of butterflyfish is an excellent display fish in the home aquarium, provided the proper conditions are met. It is an active swimmer and should be kept in aquariums that provide ample swimming space.

With the right setup and care, this species of butterflyfish can be a stunning and interesting centerpiece in any home aquarium.

The Sunset Butterflyfish is a finicky eater, and can be challenging to get to feed.

To ensure that the fish is getting the proper nutrition and to help it adjust to its new environment, it is important to offer a variety of food, and to try different types of food over time. Doing this will help the Sunset Butterflyfish to become a healthy and happy addition to your aquarium.
