Butterflyfish together

Would this happen to be the saddleback you are talking about?

Oh, then let me correct myself.

ulietensis and auriga are both VERY hardy. But IME look too much alike, and will fight. I had the same combo, and eventually I had to remove one.

I think that i value the falcula more than the ulietensis or auriga. I would probably do a falcula, saddle back, raccoon butterfly trio. Is that good?

So Dr. Colliebreath could i do the raccoon, a falcula and a saddleback?

 

[Dr Colliebreath]

Saddleback is the ulietensis, if you mean the double saddle.Also, by Amiga do you mean auriga?

Yes, the autocorrect on my phone got me there.

Yes. Nice fish. I have one. Mine started looking for food when I took it out of the shipping bag and started drip acclimation in a bucket.

I think you could, and that would be a nice trio. They are active fish and should add a lot of motion and color to your tank.

After you get your tank cleared up of the current disease, I would get a QT and maybe introduce another fish, and then quarantine and introduce the falcula and saddleback at the same time to spread any aggression that may arise.

Ok thanks!

I think the three you selected are good choices. I will never try to add an auriga with other B/F's again. Extremely agressive.

Also, aurigas don't have s much color as raccoons or falculas.
