butterfly fish

[homer66]

Can you safely keep a longnose butterfly with a copperband butterfly in the same 75 gal tank?

In my experience .... yes. Add them at the same time.

Hey Esckymick,

Glad to hear its worked out for you! Can you tell us a little more about what your experience has been like adding the two. For example what other fish do you have in the tank? Was there any aggression between the two? How do they ineract?

I suspect the Long-nose would begin eating prepared food first. If so did that help the CB learn to eat aquarium fare?

I've considered adding a CB to my tank thats had a LNB for many years but have been reluctant to upset the balance.

thanks
