    Welcome to 3reef. Hey...that Long Nose Butterfly....are you planning a bigger tank in the very near future? The Minimum recommended size to keep one of those is like 70 gallons. Just a question.

    it's already WAY too big for a 14 gallon. Like I said the minimum size tank it should EVER be in is 70 gallons. It's kinda like putting you, as a child, in a box and telling you to survive/grow up in it.

    here's a fish calculator. put in the dimensions of your tank and it tells you how many inches of fish MAXIMUM you can keep in your tank, under optimal conditions...ie..water filtration/protein skimmer/proper feeding/water changes etc...
