butterflies, even with lots of research should be left alone. they require more experience than research and knowledge. they also require mature, stable tanks and have specialized feeding habits. and unfortunately i dont think any of them belong in a 55 gallon tank. and if you want an angel in a 55 it should only be a dwarf angel.
sorry, HTH

actually LN butterflies are realatively hardy fish, readily eat prepared foods, and adapt to aquarium life well. they grow to about 7" and shouldn't be housed with similair looking butterflies, i.e. copperbanded. Make sure the fish is eating in the LFS and that its a LN butterfly and not the Big LN butterfly. The Big LN has a much smaller mouth which makes feeding difficult.
i 55gal actually would be OK for majority of this fishes life but a 75gal would be better.
dont get the yellow faced angel, copperbanded BF, or seahorse.
