Probably best to give a list of the ones you're thinking of & then people with experience of the could chime in.
+1, this echoes what I've heard and read about as well.

I've heard that the saddleback (C. ephippium) is fairly aggressive for a butterfly, for example .. which is too bad as it's a stunning fish, would love to try one some day.

Man that's my dream FOWLR right there. Any pictures (please and thank you)?

Also quick question but what's the difference between a Pakistani b/f and a red-tailed checkered b/f? I thought these were the same fish?
