Copperband Butterfly in 25 Gallon Tank?

[SomeReefGuy]

Hi all,

I know this sounds crazy, which it is. But I saw a post and someone had a copperband butterfly in a IM lagoon 25 gallons. If I made this tank specifically for this fish only, (no other fishes and enough room for it to swim), would this be possible to keep it? Thanks!

No definitely not thats much too small

25g with lots of hiding spots would = minimal space to move around. I've just put in a baby CBB and it will need a bigger tank in the next 12 months I should think.

yeah I was told that too, but I would have to re-home it eventually right?

I would not. Mine is very active and would not be happy in a 25g. The food they eat would also be pretty messy.
