Groups of pyramid butterflies

I bought a 3" pyramid 2 months ago; he just made it to DT 2 wks ago. It began eating very good on day 1 and did great throughout 6 wk QT. I like him so much I ordered a zoster from LA this week. The zoster is quite large, probably 4.5". I also snagged a Heniochus diphreutes from LA. It was the first time I've ever seen one available; I've always wanted one! Both the zoster and the Heniochus diphreutes are eating very like pigs. I can't wait to see them all together in my DT. here is the only pic I have for now, will try to post more tomorrow.

Just wanted to give an update on my pyramid and zosters. I just love these fish! The pyramid is in the DT loving life. Doesn't mess with anyone and is always the first to start chomping down when it's time to eat. The zosters in still in QT undergoing prophylactic cupramine along with the bannerfish. The two in QT eat anything I put in there. Here are a few pics, again just iphone so pics aren't too good. Zosters coloring is getting much better

The color is much more profound on the Zoster. These butterfly's are some of the most underrated/under appreciated fish you can buy for the home aquaria. The two I have didnt mess with any corals including gorgs, and if you can get ones that don't have mouth issues are very hardy when it comes to butterfly's

i treated both the pyramid and zoster prophylactically with furan 2 antibiotics for possible mouth issues as I have heard this is usually the problem they will have. actually the pyramid did have a possible mouth issue when I first got him, but a few days after furan it cleared up.

My three have completed QT (TT plus prazipro X2 plus observation) and are in the DT. They are the most voracious eaters in the tank. All three have put on some thickness/weight. They get along with everyone though my Watanabei angel postured at them a bit before release.
