Thanks to @Sicarius another species has been added to the Gallery. He made a very nice photo of the Yellow teardrop butterflyfish at Aqua Zoo Leerdam - the Netherlands :

Thanks for the report, but I can actually not take credit for this one as Tomasz had already a picture of these online 4 years ago: Yellow Teardrop Butterflyfish (Chaetodon interruptus), April 2018 - ZooChat
Spotted Butterflyfish

Beautifull photo @Hix ! This is the problem with this ( and many other ) (fish )genera : several English names for the same species and sometimes even the same English name for different species ! This one ( the Spotted or Peppered butterflyfish ) is Chaetodon guttatissimus. When did you upload it ?
Update of my Chaetodon-life-list because last weekend I saw 2 Lifers at Burger's Zoo - the Netherlands. Both were living in the enormous Shark-basin :
5 - Chaetodon aureofasciatus - the Golden butterflyfish. From this species I've just uploaded the first photo of this species in our Gallery. The single fish at Burger's is the only one at the moment living in an European public collection.

View media item 615136Last year I had already seen number 1 of the species-list ( Chaetodon adiergastos - the Eye-patch butterflyfish ) so now I've seen a total of at least 38 different species of this genus
.
Great photos @Sicarius ! Thanks for helping to make this thread as complete as possible !
Some more pictures from a recent trip to Japan.

Definitely not one of my best pictures, but here's another new butterflyfish of which no picture can be found on Zoochat yet. Unfortunately this single fish lives in a massive reef aquarium at Aquamarine Fukushima, where it hides most of the time. Still, a beautiful species to encounter.

I photographed both these species on Monday, sadly however the facility does not wish to have photos of their stock posted online otherwise I would have posted them for inclusion in this thread.

Here's a Chaetodon blackburnii. I would love to see that C. dolosus in private though! I have yet to see this species myself.I photographed both these species on Monday, sadly however the facility does not wish to have photos of their stock posted online otherwise I would have posted them for inclusion in this thread.
