Long Nose Butterflyfish Hardy?
Dear Mr. Fenner:
<You reached Steven Pro working his shift answering the daily questions to WWM. Anthony Calfo and I are helping out for a while.>
I mainly want to know if longnose butterflyfishes were hardy. My dad and I are still stocking our 125 tank. I'm the one who mainly likes the longnose B/F.
<Definitely not considered hardy. You can read more about these fish on the following WebPages http://www.wetwebmedia.com/BFsBestWrst.htm and http://www.wetwebmedia.com/forcipig.htm. Do be sure to educate yourself about any fish you intend to purchase before the purchase. There is a lot of good information to be had for free on the WetWebMedia website. One just has to look. -Steven Pro>

Re: need fish suggestions
By help I mean giving me ideas to help narrow down what I want. I like the longnose butterfly, so I'll probably go with that. I just wanted to know if you
have or know of them being friendly to owners. I might have gone with a hippo tang but it wouldn't be happy in a tank this small, and I want the best for my little friends.

Re: need fish suggestions
Ok so a longnose will do fine in a tank of 55g? Some people said no. So I am unsure.

Copperband later on
One more thing, if I got the longnose now, would it fight a copperband if I wanted to get one later on?
