Final Stocking Questions--- Butterflys & Angels

[DallasSVT]

I am finishing up Fish stocking! And I have a couple questions fro those who house Butterflys, Angels and Tangs.

I really like a couple of Butterflys.... the Copperband and the Pearlscale. Can these go into a reef tank? Can they be housed togheter?

I also wanted to add a Dwarf Angel or two. Tell me about these...

And can the above go with a small Tang, Tomini or Scopas?

What order should I add these fish?


90G display w/ 75G Sump/Fuge

Current fish:

3 Male Fairy Wrasses---- Will add one more
5 Lyretail Anthias
1 Midas Blenny
1 Tailspot Blenny
2 O. Clown

Thanks,

Dallas

My understanding is that a pearlscale is one of the less reef safe choices. Copperband should be a bit safer.

Will the Copperband get along with Tangs and Angels?

How about the Auriga Butterfly?

An Auriga in a Reef? No, it will eat your corals.

I'd maybe pick two of the three, not all three (angels, tangs, butterflies).

Add any butterflies first. Look into Chelmon, Forcipiger, Hemitaurichthys species.

I like pairing my fish, so if you go with the angels, I'd get a pair.

I have a tomini...very attractive fish, in person. Scopas tangs are also very pretty IMO.
