Who Gives A Fish Forums

Good call. Just remember to quarantine any new plants to avoid hitchhikers.

I've had good luck with driftwood and live plants like java fern. They're low maintenance and give plenty of hiding spots. Just make sure the wood is pre-soaked to avoid tannins if you don't like the tinted water.

Thanks for the advice. I had a feeling the new butterflyfish might not get along with the ones I already have. Maybe I'll put the brakes on adding them for now.

Hi,

I've got a 55 gallon tank with a few fish - two Pakistan Butterflyfish, two Percula Clownfish, a Yellow Damselfish, and a Blue Green Chromis Damselfish.
I'm thinking of adding a couple more - two Orange Butterflyfish and a Flame Dwarf Angelfish.
Does anyone see any potential compatibility ...
