Those both look like really nice, fat, healthy butterflies!I received my Longnose butterflyfish from TSM yesterday morningHe's very small, at about 2.5-3 inches. I hope he gets along with my much bigger CBB.

Thank you! They're both piggies and eat like crazy!
My pair is doing great
I did lose my Pakistani. No idea why. Looked fine, stopped eating and found it dead within 48 hrs. Necropsy showed nothing out of the ordinary, no aggression from other fish, no signs of disease. Died after roughly 25 days in captivity.
I'll try again at some point, but will probably go with a different supplier. My pearlscale, ulietensis, and Heniochus varius are all doing great! Still begging for food all day, eating like pigs, and cruising around the tank.
I went looking for more butterflies tonight at the one LFS that is closer to me. Unfortunately they only had a longnose and a copperband, and neither would eat or looked particularly great. Holding off on a copperband until I find a perfect fish. I did find a few nice wrasses and some really nice captive bred seahorses though!
