Chaetodon auriga

Regarding its numerical superiority, this fish is probably the most successful within its genus. Its range is identical to that of the Wimplefishe, but the sheer weight of numbers in the areas in which it is found indicate that it is a remarkable colonizer. It is sometimes known as the Threadfin Butterfly fish. In view of its ubiquity, one might expect the connoisseur of marine animals to be uninterested init. However, it is popular even with marine aquarists of long standing.

Although a common and hardy butterfly fish, this species is by no means the hardiest in captivity. Butterfly fish - the ideal butterfly fish for the beginner.
