African Butterfly fish-Pantodon buchholzi Couldn’t resist taking this overhead shot of these beautiful unique fishes from Africa. These particular ones were part of a Nigerian shipment that was unpacked earlier this week. It is not difficult to see where the common name derived from when viewing them from above…… just spectacular!! These will be on sale in due course once they’ve undergone a period of quarantine. Hope you enjoy the video. | Wharf Aquatics

OK, so maybe they aren't dragons flying around at the top of the aquarium, but we do enjoy using our imaginations! These are African Butterfly Fish - 𝘗𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘰𝘥𝘰𝘯 𝘣𝘶𝘤𝘩𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘻𝘪, and aren't they marvelous! They can be a fantastic addition to a carefully chosen community that doesn't contain snack-sized fish. Please ask :-) They're priced at £12.95 each or 3 for £35.00.

African Butterfly Fish- Pantodon buchholzi We’ve lost count of how many times we’ve been asked to checkout a dead fish we’ve not noticed only to find out the customer was referring to this rather bizarre looking fish just doing what they do, lounging about the waters surface. These fish are imported from both the Niger and Congo basins, western and central Africa where they inhabit calm steady backwaters which also includes swamp land. The African Butterfly as it’s commonly known is predominantl
