African Butterfly
Chaetodon Dolosus
The African Butterflyfish Chaetodon dolosus is also known as the , Blackedged Butterflyfish. Being primarily found quite deep they are not commonly seen on recreational dives although occasionally they do move into shallower water.
African Butterflyfish are more often than not seen in pairs or small groups in the wild. They are usually found from 30 meters downwards to 200 meters and the specimens in the post were photographed at around 28 meters in depth. Because of their preference for deeper waters than the other butterflyfish, very little is known about them and their behaviour. On rare occasions a single specimen sometimes leaves the deeper water and relocates into the shallows around 12 to 15 meters. These specimens seem to be territorial and are often seen in the same spot for a few weeks.
