I'm not worried about water quality. And my lfs has 3 of them that they've had for over a month so I'm pretty sure they're eating

Depends on the leds I use leds and grow everything perfectly fine.

Is it this specific fish or a different butterfly fish?

Are they really that hard to keep?

Does anyone have info or preferably personal experience with it all I can seem to find is that its not recommended for reef tanks.

That is what they are recommending for a tang of that purchase size not for life. It's very misleading.

There hundreds if not thousands of videos of people keeping fish in tanks that are to small does that make it right? No. Also do ever see a 1 year or 2 year update on these videos? Most likely no because the fish either died and they sold the tank or the fish got to big and they sold their tank...

I have a red tail trigger, yellow tang and a snowflake eel in my 135

I think gallon size it's self is irrelevant it's the foot print of the tank that matters and a 55 doesn't have the foot print for tangs. The 1" per 2 gallon rule is flawed if you have a 3" clownfish and 3" tang the bio load is not equal the tang eats more and poops more than clown. By that rule...

Your tank is fine. But I don't understand why your trying tell someone they should get a fish that doesn't belong in a 55 gallon tank?

What size tank do you have? Also what is a "free blue hippo tang"?

If two-three weeks is your idea of long term success then you are sadly mistaken. The fact that they aren't fighting with each other because they are in such small over stocked tanks with fish constantly coming and going and they can't "claim" a spot in it basically there is no pecking order...

What about in 6 months when those fish are bigger? a small fish may be happy in small tank but only for a short time you have to think about keeping them happy for life not till you get bored of them. Also I'm not seeing a list.

Part 1 isn't horrible but the yellow tang and niger trigger will need a bigger tank. Part 2 is way over stocked those tangs should not be in that tank.

A hippo tang would have a horrible life in a 55 gallon tank I had one in my 135 and it used every inch of my tank. No tang belongs in a 55. Plus it's a column tank. As far as ***** goes what they do is fish is just wrong. Just because you've seen one place do it doesn't make it right those small...

Add a goby and pistol shrimp.

I reed once in the morning and once at night before lights out. Then every other day I leave half an algae sheet for my tang.

Without a test kit no one can really answer that question. There has to be some place you can get one or you can order one.

Is there a reason you need to keep the top on the tank?

I would look at other small fish damsels are pretty aggressive and would probably kill the clownfish and or each other. Some good more peaceful substitutes would be fire fish, cardinal fish, chromis, gobies, wrasses and blennies.
