    So I've had my FOWLR tank set up and established. I have 3, 3 stripe damsels and a small CUC. I was hoping to add a flame angel just to liven things up. Anyother stocking options? I'm hoping for fish that will just get along with my damsels. Thanks!

    butterfly fish? I think they would be to peaceful in a tank with 3 stripe damsels.

    depends. 40 breeders have as much lateral swimming space as a regular 55. Some butterflys need more than that though.

    But I think it would hold its own with the damsels.
