Actually, the angel would be better suited to a 90 than the butterfly, which is one of the larger species. The regal is not a "large" large angel and keeping one as the alpha fish in a 90 is not a problem, privding the tank is mature and lightly stocked. They are, however, a bad risk.

Unless the tank is a very large system, it's not advisable to keep more than one. Some bf's do well in pairs/groups in closed systems. Racoons are not one of them.
