I have a 55 gallon tank with 30lbs of live rock at the moment(will be getting at least 25lbs more) . The tank also has a purple firefish, pair or clowns, a cleaner shrimp, fire shrimp, and pistol shrimp. I'm looking to get either a blackback butterflyfish or a pair of flame angels. Has anyone kept flame angels in a pair before? Or anyone have experience with the butterflyfish? I'm def leaning toward the butterflyfish due to its personality. Just looking for stories or opinions!

Thanks all!

Picture if the tank as it is 9/28/13
 
Yeah, you definitely need at least 25 lbs. or more live rock in your system. The pounds should coincide with the gallons of the tank/system (1-1.5 lbs. per gallon). All to make it better for filtration in your system.

As for butterfly fish and flame angels, I've never had any, so I don't know about those yet.
 
I know, I'm not getting anymore fish until I have the proper amount if live rock. I'm just looking to see if anyone has kept these fish or has any info the encyclopedia doesn't have.
