The Tinkeri Butterflyfish has an unusual color form with black running down diagonal below the dorsal fin and white with faded darks spots saturate the anterior of the fish. There are yellow bands covering both eyes. The small tail fin is shaded yellow.
The Tinkeri Butterflyfish is a fairly hardy butterfly and does well adjusting to aquarium life. Provide 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.
