BUTTERFLY FISH

[MARKSOBE]

I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE COULD GIVE THEIR ADVICE ON RECOMMENDING THE BEST SPECIMENS FOR A 90 GALLON FOWLR. SPECIFICALLY THE HARDIEST ONES, SPECIES THAT ARE LIKELY TO EAT ALGAE PAPER BECAUSE MY TANGS AND ANGELS LOVE THAT, AND ALSO GOOD COMMUNITY FISH THAT GET ALONG WELL WITH TANGS AND ANGELS.

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP MARK

Seeing as Chris wasn't much help, I can give you a list of the hardiest butterflies and minimum tank size:

Threadfin- Chaetodon auriga -75g min.
Burgess Butterfly - C. burgessi- 55g
Klein's- C. kleinii - 55g
Bluestripe - C. fremblii - 55g
Raccoon - C. lunula - 75g
Blackback - C. melannotus - 55g.
Lemon - C. milliaris - 75g
Tinker's - C. tinkeri - 75g
Doublesaddle - C. ulietensis - 75g
Vagabond - C. vagabundus - 100g

If your tang is a yellow tang, you will probably have some trouble adding an angel as they are basically the same body shape and color. My yellow tang took a distinct dislike to the Koran angel I added. I had to quarantine the tang for a week and then all was well.
