Any animal can have a heart attack, though most are not prone to because they do not suffer from high cholesterol/triglyceride levels, and therefore don't have the same degree of problem with coronary artery occlusion as we do.

How do butterfly fish get oxygen?

They use their gills just like all other fish. They are a typical laterally compressed (compressiform) reef fish which obtain oxygen by simple diffusion as O2 rich water flows across their gills which are served by two arteries, the efferent and afferent arteries. Fish use a system called counter current exchange of water and blood between these two arteries across the gill lamilae (gill sheets), meaning that the blood and water flow in opposite directions across the gill sheet. This maintains the concentration gradient of O2 between blood and water so that more highly oxygenated water is meeting blood with lower oxygen levels. Its quite efficient as well (~90%), which is important since fish live an extremely low O2 environment >2% DO.
