Butterfly Fish....What Kind

[fish_junky]

Hello all, I am new to the forum and would like to get some feedback. I want to do a 90 gal Butterly Tank, one species only about 7 to 10 fish. Any sugestions on the type I should do???
The tank will have live rock and some corals.

copperband they re kool, but very finniky eaters ,watch wat corals u put they eat clams ,some coral suppose to be reef safe,but u gotta watch them

copperbands are fine but they have to be eating when you purchase them also pyramids are great but they can be a hit or miss with some soft corals the black & white heniochos are also great and some people have had luck with the long nose butterfly in reefs the long nose are supposed to be the most hardier out of all butterflies i have had all the ones that i mentioned but now i keep one copperband and 3 yellow pyramids good luck with your selection

Keep in mind that alot of butterfly fish can reach 8 inches or so in length. 7 in a 90g sounds like a heavy bioload to me, but I am conservative when it comes to stocking fish.

90 gallons is way too small for what you are planning. I would rethink my goal for this tank.
