Nope missed it Tony....ooops Actually its pyramid now....I added the pair and they got such a rough ride from my "three amigos" (the tangs) that the weaker and more timid butterfly died....they both got ick right away as most fish in my tank do, but were eating like pigs...and Im guessing the stress of being harassed and fighting the ick was too much for the one to manage The stronger of the two is doing ok...still getting bothered at times but bolder and bolder every day....

Heres a pic Josh took of the B-fly



A mug shot of the worst of the tangs for harassing the B-flys (Naso) (also Josh's)

Hey Doug, what kind of zoos are those. Im talking about the ones with the orange rim on them.

Aww, sorry to hear that. Butterflies seem so delicate at first. Seems if you can nurse them past that awkward stage then maybe it's not so bad but geez, still kinda harsh the way things work out.

But that one you have left is a sure beauty! Good luck with him.

I have read that about them....they sometimes dont acclimate well, but once settled in they are usually pretty hardy....that being said this incident has made me realize that the three amigos are getting to the point that they need to move on....the regal is pushin 5", the yellow is close to 5" and the Naso was added as a means to help with some algae trouble I had (he had a back-up home before I took him home)...I have been actively trying to catch the trio....Catherine said she would take them if she could take all three at once....It wont be easy but I will see if I can swing it...I need to re-home my female fairy wrasse(the first "victim" of the hunt) first before I move anything else into the 25g, so the hunt for the tangs has been put on hold....I will probably end up replacing the blue and the yellow with much smaller versions.
