Pyramid butterfly?

[nuvuku]

Hey all thinking about getting a pyramid butterfly, I love butterflies and have a spotfin but he is in his teen years and loves brain coral... I do too... so he is gonna go soon but I really have been interested in the pyramid butterflies. I have a 90 gallon tank with a small hippo, 2 clowns, one chromis (he killed his friends off... there was a school of 5), and a marine betta. Feeding is not an issue since I already feed my NPS, corals and fish several times a day. I was thinking of 2 or 3. I am interested in what you think.

One in a 90g maybe but not 3 with a hippo. The hippo should be rehomed to a much larger tank

Agree with Dmorty. I had 3 in a 6 foot tank and sold two of them. They are very active fish with big appetites.

agree with the above posters. i have one in my 150g and it's pretty active. it gets quite big as well. very nice fish though. easy to feed and not aggressive towards other fish.

I have three in my 265. They are a tang-equivalent in terms of bioload and required space.
