The Declivis Butterflyfish or Marquesan Butterflyfish has an interesting form with its separated yellow dorsal fin spines rolling down its back. The anterior of the body is white with faded tiny gray spots. There are yellow vertical bands that covers both eyes.
The Declivis Butterflyfish is a hardy but docile fish that requires a well-established system with peaceful fish, plenty of live rock and sandy substrate. They will eat corals and pick at many small invertebrates including feather dusters and sea anemones.
To initiate feeding, offer a variety of small frozen foods such as mysis shrimp, enriched brine shrimp and cyclopeeze. Train your butterflyfish to eat Formula One Small Pellets or Flakes for a healthy diet.
