Heniochus butterfly

[66chuck]

Added a heniochus butterfly a short while back to my tank (180g FOWLR). Fish is great, eats well, gets along well w/ everyone else (2 Yellow tangs, 3 chromis, 2 percs, 1 wrasse, 1 flame angel). Was told that I should have added a couple more heniochus w/ the first, because they like to school together and look great doing so. Should I add a couple more or be happy w/ what I have now?

you could probably add 2 more. my only concern is with the established yellow tangs.

You could add two more. You have the space. They will be better off against the YT's as a group than a single. They enjoy schooling together. Please quarantine them. They are likely to come in with ich. I hope that you quarantined your other fish.

I moved around most of my live rock before introducing the butterfly. The tangs stayed busy in their new surroundings. They only seem to notice the butterfly when he tries to "groom" them. It's funny - they almost look embarassed.
So far, so good. If I get another pair, I'll move more rock around.
