That blue hippo will outgrow that tank real soon. The Butterfly needs an established tank. That's a pretty good size bioload when they all get bigger for that size tank.
I have a 90 with a Maroon Clown, Kole Tang, Coral Beauty, Hawaiian (Indian) Trigger, Diamond goby and cannot even think of adding anything else until I get my 360 gallon

thanks for the input .. I know that the butterfly needs an established tank .. and it's already in there .. I've had my 90 gallon for over a year .. got the butterfly a couple of months ago .. all I have in there right now is the blue hippo the eel and the butterfly .. the order from top to bottom is the order I plan on adding them .. and I agree that the hippo WILL outgrow my tank but I don't think I'm in any immediate danger .. I've had it for about 7 months and it's only grown about .5" inch or 1" .. hard to tell .. and even so .. if it has a growth spurt over night I'll put it into my 210 reef .. again thanks for the reply and your interest

Heres what I would do, I would move the blue hippo and the copperband to your 210. If you want, get the sleeper goby for your 210 also. Keep the eel in your 90 and a volitan, in my oponion get way to large even for a 90 gallon. You could get a antenata(grows to a small volitan) and in the future thew angel will get to large. With the eel and the antenata you could get a couple more semi-aggresive tankmates.

Actually your angel will be fine in that tank. I was thinking of a diff. one

I'm keeping the Copperbanded where it's at because all I have in my ninety is SPS like Acropora and such like that but in my 210 I have SPS, LPS, and soft coral that my butterfly would go crazy to eat .. and yeah . I was thinking about getting a smaller lion like an antennata or a radiata or just get another type of fish instead of the lion .. and I think I can get away with the angel being in there for about 2 years same with the hippo .. but if the hippo grows to be too big and the angel does as well then I'll move the hippo and trade the angel in .. and as for the sleeper goby in my 210 .. I already have a mated pair of Diamond Gobies in there .. what fish do you suggest if I don't get the antenneta?

Well with the copperband in there your choice are going to be limited to few.

maybe try luring them out with food .. it worked with my cream angel .

Antenata would be the better choice, there cheaper and usually execpt nonliving food.

Couldn't you get one of the dwarf lions or would the butterfly not like that?
I don't know anything about eel and have a question. Won't the ell eat the goby or is it a peaceful eel?
