Butterfly Fish For A 130 Litre Tank

[stefday]

Hi,

I am in the process of setting up my first marine tank.

I currently have a goby,blennie,cleaner wrasse and two humbugs.

I realise that at present I would not be able to have a butterfly fish at the moment but wondered if there would be one suitable for my tank and if so what would be the maximum amount of fish I could keep at the same time.

Thanks for your help.

most are not reef safe and very picky feeds. only reccomended for massive tanks with experienced fish keepers to keep them fat and healthy.

+1 130 L or 34 usg is to small to even attempt to keep one.

Thanks very much for the advice. I am new to the hobby but I am getting addicted to it. What size tank would you need to keep Tangs, Butterlies and Angels in?

I think the minimum tank size is 55g for some species, but its preferably 75g minimum.
