Just wondering, I have read that a yellow tang and copperbanded butterfly will not get along. any truth? I have a yellow and I want to add a copperband for nuisance control.

I had the combo and they got along well together. Unfortunatley they died together too when my display tank got ich. I just got another yellow tang, and in a month or so, I'll add another copperband. I've heard of this before, but personally I never had the problem. Your tank is big enough technically to host both, but they might be running into each other to much.

i have both in a 175g and have no problems, but with less space in a 75g things could get ugly. can you return the copperbanded to the lfs if it did not work out?
