So I'm in a back and forth debate about putting a schooling bannerfish in my 90 gallon. I don't really want a school of them, just one, but the name implies they need a school to be happy. The planned stock list includes a firefish, midas blenny, white tail bristletooth tang, chocolate tang, flame angel, a pair of ocellaris, and possibly a Randall's goby. If I did put in a bannerfish, it would go in after the blenny, but before any of the more aggressive fish (tangs, angels, and clowns, oh my!). Does anyone have any experience with bannerfish? Are they fairly hardy, or more delicate like the butterflies they're listed with? Is a 90 really to small for them, like with a lot of the tangs? Do they actually need a school to be happy, or will one do ok by itself? Would they be ok with the rest of the stock list, or would the more aggressive fish harass it to death?
