Pantodon or Freshwater Butterfly Fish
My Unforgettable Pantothenus Fish Encounter
summarizeEditor's Summary
I've had the pleasure of owning a pantothenus fish for about five years now, and it's been an absolute joy. This fish is a surface dweller that's always hovering just above the water's surface, waiting for insects to fall in. It's a super laid-back fish that gets along swimmingly with the other fish in my tank. I've been feeding it dry food, like tetra flakes and frozen brine shrimp, and it seems to love it. The pantothenus fish is a great choice for anyone looking to add some unique character to their aquarium.
