Copperband butterflies

[Steven91]

Hey everyone, I currently have an established copperband butterfly in my tank, eating well and has a slight blemish on his right side though does not affect it at all. My lfs got in a baby copperband, maybe a little over an inch (will attach photo), is there a possibility of me adding the second copperband or would my current one kill it?

It probably depends on the size of your tank. I think you would need lots and lots of space.

Copper bands do not tolerate conspecifics unless a mated pair. The literature suggests Chaetodontidae are gonochoristic and therefor cannot be simply paired like clowns and angels.
