Yes, that's the one.@eatbreakfast, marginalis is that the one that looks like the copperband but has one less strip and no black spot?
Yes, there are a few that work well together, but there are plenty of species that can be quite mean to other butterflies, and these are the ones that are usually available and hardy. Raccoon, auriga, falcula, rafflessi, kleini, and lemons have all caused issue and been bullies to other butterflies, even ones on that list, if they are allowed to establish their territory before others are added. Other species are obligate coralivores and waste away in captivity, and other species, such as semilavartus don't compete well for resources.IME; you can mix most butterflies without issue. Although sometimes the more aggressive species (ex. Raccoon) will outcompete for food and even bully the sissy ones (exs. CBB, Longnose). It's on a case by case basis. A "butterfly garden" is one of the nicest FO tanks IMO. A Moorish Idol and/or Singapore Angel also fits well in this kind of system. Or even a batfish if the tank is tall enough (at least 36").
