Fortunately I can get other declivis butterfly from Korea Reef Club member who are very specialist of Fish adaptation. This butterfly is finished the adaptation process and eats dry foods very well. I am worried my Tank's Declivis harasses the new one but not much. It attacked and picked the new one in several times but after 3 hours They got along very well. I am not sure they are male or female but I hope they are OK.
Look at this belly. It is healthy enough to get along in my tank. He said he gives the fishes pellet food in 3xdaily
Update 2009/02/10 She is OK. She eats almost dry food, frozen food even SPS polyps. but it is absolutely lovely fish.

This my declivis butterfly pic taken yesterday. She (I think it is female) eats every kind of dry and frozen food. but Unfortunately she pick all my SPS. but I think it is very natural for her. so I let her do this. :)
Not sure but LFS said tinker's butterfly will come soon. so I am thinking of buying it if possible.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I lost my declivis butterfly about 5 month ago.
And I am waiting for new ones and I can get devlivis again.
This picture show the procedure of acclimation and LFS said they have done already~! so what I only do is add my water and enought aeration. (the weather is so hot though evening)
After 2 hour acclimation, I put them in my tank.
LFS said it is not pair because it was not caught together. but he said they may become pair or not. and they would not fight each other until dead. it is like selecting large angel in coral tank. They can pick the coral or not :) They are almost 2.5 inches (6~7cm). It is not big. I hope they get along with each other and enjoy their life~!!
5개월전에 declivis 나비를 아쉽게 잃고 난 후에 계속 기다리고 있다가 6센티정도의 작은 녀석들을 구할 수 있었습니다. 보니까 적응통에서 이젠 좀 살만한지 견제를 시작합니다. 수족관에서 말하길 마치 엔젤들이 산호를 쪼을 수도 있고 그렇지 않을 수도 있는 것처럼 처음에는 견제하다가 같이 다닐수도 있고 처음에는 신경을 쓰지 않다가 나중에 견제하기도 한답니다. 하지만 죽을 때까지 싸우지는 않는다고 하네요 그래서 일단 2마리를 한번에 넣어보기로 했습니다. 어찌 되었던 우리 식구가 된 이상 잘 살아주었으면 하는 바램입니다.
