Long Nose Butterflfy

[ljroman85]

Anyone got any problems with these fish? I know they are not reef safe but are they at least hardy? or are they like the Idols best left in the Ocean? I saw one that looked nice

As with any butterfly. Best kept in a very mature, stable and clean tank. Haven't heard of many people having success keeping them for long periods.
I'd say leave them for the most experienced and meticulous enthusiastists. Unless that is you then go for it.
