Description
The Yellow Longnose Butterflyfish, or Forceps Fish is known for its long protruding mouth. It has a yellow body and a black and silver head with a black spot on the anal fin.
The Yellow Longnose Butterflyfish uses its long mouth to pick out tiny organisms in the rock. The Yellow Longnose Butterflyfish is not a good choice for a reef tank because it may nip at corals and invertebrates. Provide a well-established tank with a generous population of copepods in the live rock and substrate. Best when kept singly in a peaceful fish- only tank.
To initiate feeding, offer a variety of small frozen foods such as mysis shrimp, enriched brine shrimp and cyclopeeze. Train your butterfly fish to eat Formula One Small Pellets or Flakes 
for a healthy diet.
