Ok do you think this would be a sutible fish in my tank. My tank agine is 46 g and thos fish is rated uptp 50 g thats only 4 gallons to small) and the fish ihad in mind was a Mertensii Butterflyfish
My tank will mostly have about 50%sps.

Quote form Pet Solutions.com "Mertensii Butterflyfish, Chaetodon mertensii, is often found living on or around the reefs of the Pacific Ocean. Members of the genus Chaetodon make gorgeous inhabitants of fish only aquariums. Soft Corals and most Invertebrates should do fine with the Butterflyfish, but it may likely decimate Stony Corals, as they are a part of its natural diet."

This Butterfly feeds almost exclusivly on SPS.

Were are you getting your fish list from? you seem to be picking fish you can't possibly have success with

http://www.amonline.net.au/fishes/fi...h/cmertens.htm This is the fish you mean? I've never had one, and wow is it beautiful.
There is a butterfly called a Yellowtail (Chaetodon xanthurus), that looks almost identical except it requires at least 55g.

I know you have some SPS, and LPS in your tank alread. Do you plan to fill it with SPS, and LPS later?

[Mik_101]

Yes those sps and Lps and a bit of softies.

No...I wanted to say "not really" but that could be misleading. The correct answer is no.

Tell everyone you plan to upgrade your tank to a 90 or a 120 within the next 6 months or so and you will get some answers more to your liking. You still wont like all the answers but I am sure a few would be ok for you.

-kole tang
-Scopas tang

Skip all the tangs, they are all far too large for your system. Try browsing through some online shopes for other fish that you like that might thrive better in a smaller tank.
