I never considered any compatability problems between a Emperor Angel and a Copper Band Butterfly. I got my hands on a healthy adult Emperor last weekend and to my surprise he does not much care for the resident Butterfly, nothing too nasty but he gives chase enough that I'm concerned it may be an issue in the long run.
The Angel is about 6" maybe a tad less and the Butterfly is about 4", he has been in the tank since Sunday of last week and still gives chase every opportunity that presents itself. Seems to have gone on long enough that I fear this may be a permanent behaviour pattern.
Did I goof up and this is to be expected? If not the norm then should this not have subsided by now or do I need to give it more time? FWIW, I had a Majestic that was 4.5-5" and none of the other tank inhabitants seemed to mind but I must say EVERYONE gives this guy a wide berth.
