I've got a Pyramid Butterfly in my tank right now and it's doing very well. It's very peaceful, eats like a pig, etc... My lfs just got in 4 Regal Angels and all of them are eating frozen mysis and brine extremely well. I saw all of them eat and they were attracted to me when I was checking them out. They each followed me around their own tanks a bit. I'm really interested in getting one of them since it's extremely rare to see them eating and they're all a decent size. My question though is will the butterfly and angel get along seeing as how both have bits of yellow on them? Does the butterfly lack enough yellow so that the angel doesn't pick on him? I don't think the butterfly will pick on the angel.

I wouldn't foresee any problems between the two. Any established fish might show some annoyance with another of similar size, but I doubt the butterfly would be aggressive. I've kept various bf's and angels together for years and by in large they get along w/o any major problems.

Alright thanks! Now I just need to see when I can go back down there.
