Opinion on new fish

So I am looking at a copper band butterfly for my 90 cube tank...I realize it says 125 min but u think a 90 would be the absolute smallest u could go?

I mean it’s an 8” fish compared to my 9” fox which also says it needs a 125 and he does just great in my 90 for well over a year now...what do U guys think?

I know they are a difficult fish but I plan on grabbing a divers den fish

I wouldn't do it more because of the dimentions of the cube than the volume. A standard 90 I'd be more likely say try it than the cube.

Agreed, gallons are a bad indicator. It's more length and swim room.

Right I get that and was afraid u guys were gonna say that lol...my dad has a butterfly in his 125 and it doesn’t necessarily swim lengths but more so like to do laps thru the rocks which I have plenty of that going...so i dont know what I think...thanks for your input :~}
