Black & White Heniochus

[skierguy]

I was at the LFS today and I saw a couple of Black & White Heniochus. I thought that they looked great. The guy working there said that they were a lot easier to keep than other butterfly's. I just would like to get a second opinion before I get my hopes up.

I've had mine for 4 weeks, now. It is a great looking fish, but it is prone to ick. It is currently been in hypo for 3 weeks. I've heard they like to be in schools, so more than one would be great, but you need to buy them at the same time. How big is your tank? They like bigger tanks. I have had trouble with its spiked fin. I think it got bent going into a cave.

how many and which are the fish in your tank?

I have a 55gal tank with a tomato clown, small yellow tang and camel back shrimp.

Dont put them it that small tank...they need swimming room and with more than one watch out, stress levels jump quick with small tanks. They are a beautiful fish but do not jump into them yet.
