Wrought Iron Butterfly Fish

Wrought Iron Butterfly Fish, also known technically as Chaetodon Daedalma, is rarely seen in the United States because it is rarely imported. This makes it one of the most difficult fish to find on our list, but if you look hard enough, you'll undoubtedly find it. Although keeping the Wrought Iron Butterflyfish in a coral habitat is not recommended, there have been several successful occurrences over the years.

When it comes to appearance, this is without a doubt one of the most attractive fish in the world, despite not being the most colorful. It gets its name from the visible scale patterns that mimic wrought iron decorations. The fish's back end, as well as the tail region, frequently have brilliant yellow sections that contrast wonderfully with the dark, wrought iron appearance. In terms of size, the Wrought Iron Butterflyfish averages 6 inches in length, but some can reach 7 inches.

These are calm fish that can be kept alone or in groups of three or five. They play and interact well with one another, so you won't have to worry about any mishaps when you're not looking. These ravenous feeders favor meaty foods and certain algae-based foods for their diet. They can be fed caught salmon meat, as well as cod and tuna if the portions are sliced down to about 4mm in size.

Even though it is not a difficult fish to keep in terms of diet or behavior, the Wrought Iron Butterflyfish is very particular about water quality.
