Fish Stocking Question

I wonder if I could have a Royal Gamma in a 15gal with a Copperband Butterfly? Do you think that might work?

Yeah, Royal Gramma is fine. I had two (lost one), and they were fine with the Copperband. But tangs, wrasses, and other butterfly fish can be a problem, just because they are more pigs at feeding time. The Copperband has this long beak, and is just a little more dainty with the eating. Copperbands are beautiful fish, no question, but do indeed require more attention and care.

I should ask, too, what is your main motivation about getting a Copperband?

So I was at the LFS today to purchase my Copperband Butterfly and I came home with a Flame Angel and a Coral Beauty.

No Copperband

I couldn't help myself. The angels are beautiful fish. Because I quarantine my fish for six weeks before introducing them into the display I wanted to do two fish instead of one.
