Hey everyone, I have really wanted an Atlantic long nose butterfly for quite some time now but am just worried about tank buddies and if enough is enough. I talked to my LFS and they can get them at about 2 inches and I think he would fit perfectly in my tank but want others opinions. I currently have one of each: mystery wrasse, melanurus wrasse, royal grama, clown goby, flame angel, ingens seahorse, and a bang eye. My tank is a 30 gallon nano and I have herd of other keeping an Atlantic in a tank that size with no issue but am just wondering about the other fish I have and if it would be over crowded. Thanks
 
Hi, welcome to R2R!
I think a long nose would do great with that group of fish but I think in a thirty gallon it's a little crowded. These guys are really similar to copperbands in a lot of ways and feed off small creatures in the rocks and sand.
