Just a quick question for everyone I’ve read online about it but has anyone had a fox face rabbit fish and a copperband butterfly together in a tank

I've seen them together many times but normally in larger systems. The foxface is great once acclimated prone to sickness early on. Copperband Butterflies are a incredibly difficult fish to get right. They are notoriously finicky eaters and even when they do eat they can sometimes still starve just due to metabolism. I myself have tried and failed 2 times with copperbands even when working closely with the quarantining shop. Bucketlist for me when i have a larger reef in future 150+

Rambling aside its only an issue of the foxface is larger and been around a while then they can sometimes bully newer sensitive fish

Thank you for the input I was just wondering as I’ve heard mixed reviews on the two together and was trying to put more information together about them

Any time if you do try it i wish you luck! Plenty of nori will keep the foxface tamer!

I’ll let you know if I do

I ended up pairing the two together they’ve not had any problems so far this past week and both seem to be eating fine and doing fine
