Chaetodon speculum: the Ocellated Butterflyfish, Brightness and Rarity for a Marine Aquarium
The Chaetodon speculum, also known as the Ocellated Butterflyfish, is a fascinating butterflyfish from the coral reefs of the Indo-Pacific Ocean. Its intense coloration and discreet behavior make it a prized species among experienced aquarists.
The Chaetodon speculum features a bright yellow elliptical body, marked by a large black and brown oval spot on the upper part of its flanks. A thin vertical black band crosses its eyes. Unusually, its body slightly whitens during the night, adapting to its natural environment. It reaches an adult size of about 18 cm.
A Calm and Independent Behavior
The Chaetodon speculum is a discreet and peaceful fish. In most cases, it ignores other inhabitants of the aquarium, promoting harmonious cohabitation with non-aggressive species.
This Ocellated Butterflyfish is ideal for completing a structured and spacious fish-only community aquarium.
A Minimum 450-Liter Aquarium
Maintaining the Chaetodon speculum requires a tank of at least 450 liters. To optimize its acclimation and health, the aquarium should be equipped with:
- A large open swimming space to support its natural behavior,
- A decor rich in live rocks meeting its needs for hiding and exploration,
- Moderate water flow maintaining well-oxygenated water.
A Delicate Diet
In the wild, the Chaetodon speculum primarily feeds on:
- Anemone and coral polyps,
- Small benthic invertebrates.
In captivity, its diet must be carefully adapted. It gradually accepts:
- Live or thawed Artemia and mysis,
- Enriched marine pellets designed for specialized omnivorous fish,
- Small pieces of thawed seafood.
Dietary acclimation may require time and patience, making this fish more suitable for experienced aquarists.
A Shining Jewel for Fish-Only Tanks
The Ocellated Butterflyfish Chaetodon speculum is a living jewel for experienced aquarists looking to bring a touch of exoticism and bright color to their fish-only aquarium.
With ample water volume, careful feeding, and enriched decor, the Chaetodon speculum will fully thrive and illuminate your marine aquarium starting from 450 liters.
