The African Butterfly is a top dwelling predator, which on preys on live insects and small fishes that dwell at the top waterline. Other then that they tend to be very peaceful and leaving mid dweller and bottom dwellers alone. They are also active in the daytime but tend to be a little bit more active during the night. These guys also come from a slow moving river so its best kept in a tank with slow moving water. |
