125 Gallon Question

[brendac]

Can I put together in a 125 gallon... 1 yellow tang... I raccoon buterfly... 1 cooperhead butterfly... 1 auriga butterfly and 1 full size angel thats not a dwarf angel?? I have heard its not good to put 2 butterflys together in the same tank... but might get along if added together right from the start.

You could. I think what it is you cant have two of the same kind unless you no they are male and female

As long as they look dissimilar and have different biologies, you can keep two butterflies together. For instance, you could keep one of the deep sea reef specialists, like a Mitratus or a Tinker's, with a Copper-banded or Long-nosed. Or you could keep a group of the same species togehter if they are in the right genus (Heniochus, which naturally shoal).
Hope this helps.
