caribbean butterflyfish

[fish042099]

Hi I have a 100 gallon saltwater tank with a coney grouper, a chain moray, and a sergeant major. I would like to add a caribbean butterflyfish to my tank. Is that possible, and if it is what kind would be hardy? Thanks for any help.

I don't think a butterflyfish would survive with those tank mates...

What other fish would be good choices that are not so hard to keep?

Would a French angel be hardy and a good choice for those tankmates? The coney grouper is only about 3" long.

100 gallons isn't nearly enough for a french angel. They get HUGE. Do you have plans to upgrade? You'll need to for the grouper anyway.

I heard when I bought him that they only get about a foot.Anyway, about how long would it take for the grouper to reach that size, and how many gallons should the tank be?
