Henis are a bit unpredictable when kept singley. Pakistanis can get pretty rough, don't think that would work. I got mine for free because he was beating up everything we put him in with. A 3" butterfly terrorising an 8" Imperator is kinda funny. they were in a 40 breeder so the angel couldn't turn fast enough. I ended up selling the Pakastani to the zoo about a year later.

I'm sure its been done. Herea a little hope for ya, the Heni is pretty bold for a butterfly, the Pakistani is a Chaetodon, the Heni isn't. I dont remember if mine went after other butterflies, all I remember is how wierd it was that he was beating up huge angels. Keep an eye on him. The bigger your tank is the better chance it'll work.

thanks dave! somehow i'm thinking i could make it. i've been watching my heni since i put the pakis... he's nipping on him, alright. but tonight, not much anymore. the pakis is chasing him back now. i guess he got the idea! hahahahahha
but i'm still crossing my fingers!
and what i'm doing is playing with my heni, like trailing him with my finger wherever he goes! he kinda like it though! he moved more closer to the glass and kept moving back and forth!
:hilarious
