Would it be possible to keep a sailfin tang and a copper banded butterfly in the same tank.
I tried it once before but it was immediately killed by the sailfin.But it doesn't bother my other fish that were before him.
Here's my plan ,Please tell me weather it would be safe to proceed or should I abort?
In two weeks I'm getting a new tank and moving everything but the sandbed over to the new one.After I cycle it .I'll move all my stuff but the fish over.Then I'm planning on putting the butterfly in .All the rockwork will be different with black sand instead of white.Then after a few days I'll put the rest in including the tang wich will go in dead last.
My buddy is telling me I'd have a better chance trading the tang in for a smaller one and putting them in at the same time,But...This fish is my most favorate fish of all times ,It recognizes me and gets all excited when I approach the tank,It likes to eat form my hand and rub it's nose on my fingers.lol.Even changes colors and swims all over the tank when it sees me.At no time does it act out aggression twords any other tank mates,Him and my bagjji hang out side by side most of the time.Just anything I put in it becomes really aggressive.Like call of the wild aggressive.
I know I'm probably just looking for the answer I want other then what's right..I think I'm just looking for conformation.
These are what it's living with now
bangijj cardinal
mandiran
blue spot goby
possum wrasse
perc clown
And planning these
cbb
female mandiran [this summer after I get my pods back up]
another bangijj
and a goby for my pistol shrimp.
My parameters are "rock solid"And I have the equipment to handle a heavy load.
