Schooling Bannerfish

[FishinAround]

Question for anyone who has or has had or is a Schooling Bannerfish expert. I'm in the process of setting up a 120g reef tank and my original stocking plan called for 2 schoolilng bannerfish. I'm now rethinking that and was leaning towards 1 schooling bannerfish and 1 Longnose Butterflyfish instead. Other major inhabitants will include a Hippo Tang and a Yellow Tang along with some smaller fish such as Clowns and Royal Grammas. My question is "Is it OK to just have 1 Schooling Bnnerfish"? I've read on some sites that they should be kept in pairs but I've also read it's OK to just have one. Thanks for the advice.

I am no expert, but I have one, first in a 75 it is now in a 120, it seems very happy as the only one in the tank.

That said, I plan to get two more. I don't have as many large fish as you are planning. I curently have a Foxface Lo & a Coral Beauty along with some other smaller fish.

Think the Bannerfish would get along with a CBB?
