Parachaetodon ocellatus – Ocellated Butterflyfish for Fish-Only Aquariums

Parachaetodon ocellatus, also known as the ocellated butterflyfish, is a fascinating marine fish with a silvery body marked by five vertical orange bands. Easily recognizable, it also features a distinctive eyespot on its dorsal fin, giving it a unique appearance often compared to that of the Chelmon rostratus.

An Aesthetic Fish Reserved for Fish-Only Aquariums

Although it is easy to feed, the Parachaetodon ocellatus tends to nip at coral polyps. Therefore, it is reserved for a fish-only aquarium. Its peaceful behavior makes it an excellent companion for other non-aggressive species in a well-structured tank.

Maintenance Conditions

  • Minimum recommended volume: 350 liters
  • Temperature: between 24°C and 27°C
  • pH: between 8.0 and 8.4
  • Décor: algae vegetation, rocky hiding places, open swimming areas

Behavior and Compatibility

Parachaetodon ocellatus is a peaceful fish that primarily swims in the middle layers of the aquarium. It coexists well with other non-territorial fish. However, it is important not to keep it with invertebrates or corals, as it may damage them.

Feeding

  • Artemia, mysis, krill
  • Enriched marine pellets and flakes
  • Fresh or dried algae

This omnivorous fish easily accepts a varied diet. Its ability to feed on non-live foods greatly facilitates its acclimatization.

Why Choose Parachaetodon ocellatus?

  • Unique appearance with orange bands and eyespot
  • Easy-to-feed fish
  • Peaceful behavior, perfect for fish-only aquariums
  • Resembles the famous Chelmon rostratus

Parachaetodon ocellatus is an original butterflyfish, both aesthetic and easy to acclimate, that will add a touch of elegance to any fish-only aquarium.
