Size also matters sometimes. 2 different species of butterfly may liver happily together if they are similar size but if one is much smaller it may get harrassed to death.

Probably best to give a list of the ones you're thinking of & then people with experience of the could chime in.

.

Thinking of 2 from this list


Raccoon (Chaetodon lunula)
Auriga (Chaetodon auriga)
Vagabond (Chaetodon vagabundus)
Latticed (Chaetodon rafflesi)

or maybe even a Heniochus (Heniochus acuminatus)

Well, for some reason I don't have a pic of the red tailed that is otherwise known as a pearlscale. Here is a link though to a picture of one.

I have a pic of my copperband that was in one of my reef/clam tanks.


I can only find a picture of my auriga when I first got him and he was in quarantine for 8 weeks.


This pic is older and shows my raccoon and pakistani together.


This is my longnose.


The tank has been stripped now and being prepared for seahorses once I get more fry going.
