I had the same prroblem with my Threadfin butterfly, and my Kleins butterfly. THe yellow and Scopas has to let them know who was boss. All i did was rearrange the rock work. it worked for me. But if you can take out the yellow and then add the butterfly it will work. But it may not.

But my Butterflies were bigger then my Yellow and
Scopas tang too which helps alot

good luck....

Same probs with Dottyback and Wrasse. Agree with above. I did that and what else was recommended to me after rearanging is to "black-out" the tank for a day or two. ie. put a blanket around it to coax them into a slumber. It worked for me. If that doesn't work, maybe invest in one of those temporary tank dividers? Is it fighting or more bullying? good luck.

It looks like it worked, The seem to be friends now.

Thanks for you help.

A few more questions, Can you have more then one Butterflyfish in the same tank? Can it be the same kind or different? If you can have more then one what size of groups? Do you have to add them in all at the same time? I don't know anyone that has more then one in a tank but it I think it would look real cool to have a few of them in my FOWLR tank.

Thanks,
