Wait for the elusive Schooling Bannerfish or give up?

[woganaga]

I have been waiting for the schooling bannerfish to arrive on LA or at my LFS...

Here is what is in the display tank:
- 5 green chromis
- 2 ocellaris clowns
QT
- Exquisite fairy wrasse x2
- Red Head Solon Fairy Wrasse
- McCoskers Flasher Wrasse
Next up:
- Sand sifting goby (i like the orange spotted one)
- Yellow Basslet

Option A is wait (up to a year) for the schooling bannerfish to complete my tank stocking plan.

Option B is get 2 more fairy wrasse that i am interested in now and introduce them to DT all at same time.... And forget about the bannerfish

Option C is.....

Your thoughts?

I forgot to note, the other option B was a Bellus Angelfish...

How big is your tank? They get really big really fast. Unlike Chaetodon butterflies which tend to not attain their full max size, these guys do, IME.

Sdguy - 110 gallons - is that sufficient for them?

I'd say no. I had one in a 110. It was very cramped. Ended up finding it sitting on top of my weighted down eggcrate cover

That really sucks.... Off to the drawing board I guess....
