i wouldnt do the tangs,puffer,foxface,and the butterflys and choose someother small fish that would be good

 

[fishboy52]

not even the heniochus butterfly its my favorite

How about a Royal gramma or a flame Angel. Both very beautiful,hardy and wont outgrow the tank.

but they look so boring ive seen others with butterflys in 55's

Copperbands are not easy to fish to keep by any means. I had a longnose in my 55 and all was well but They're a really passive fish and tend to be bullied. I took mine back to the LFS. Flame angels arent boring at all and Royal Grammas make a great addition to any tank.

butterflys eat featherdusters of all kinds

I really want a tang for my 55 too and someone told me a kole tang would be better because they don't need as much length, but I don't know if that is true

you could get a small yellow for a couple years, but you may eventually need to upgrade.
