I wanted to do a BOWLR at some point but it's a little dicey. Butterflyfish when small get along great but can become territorial as they get bigger. Was reading somewhere (forget where now, sorry) that for such peaceable looking fish they can actually get pretty nasty with each other.

I can't remember if Deb's tank was "mostly" butterflies or if there just were a couple.

I have two double-saddleback in my cube tank and they're pretty destructive to a lot of things, so unfortunately FOWLR is really the basic idea unless you go with maybe pyramids..
