I have a black-back, longnose, and cbb. They didn't school together but no problems.

For the gem of the butterfly world get a pair of semilarvatus if it's a good size tank.

i like the henios but wanted something maybe a little bit more colorful, i really like those black backs Richard. maybe a couple of those and one or two henios. ya those semilarvatus are amazing, but i know they are hard to take care of sometimes, and i want some hardy fish... even tho butterflys def arent the most hardy of fish... thanks guys

Hey Richard, how "reef safe" are the semilarvatus? Live aquaria says "with caution", and they actually have them in stock - if $120 a pop doesn't bother you!
