Prognathodes guyanensis, also known as the French butterflyfish is up for two honors – it may well be one of the nicest species of tropicalPrognathodesbutterflyfish, and certainly the nicest in the Caribbean and it is also one of the rarest aquarium fish that comes from the Caribbean. Second only to the Spanish flag grouper,Prognathodes guyanensisappears only sporadically in the local and domestic aquarium trade.
Also hailing from Curacao, this stunning little three inchPrognathodes guyanensisis hot on the heels of that fantastic trio ofroughtongue bassand it will join them in theDiver’s Den. At $1599 this singlePrognathodes guyanensiscosts as much as the trio of roughtongue bass but wouldn’t it be sweet to get them all and set up a Curacao deep reef biotope?
