ABF anyone

I'm thinking of getting an african butterfly fish though I was just wondering if anybody thinks he/she will eat my guppies or rasboras, i'v heard both ways just wondering on your guys input and why you think that, Thanks.

Re: ABF anyone

Well, it says there that:

"Though the Butterflyfish, African Butterflyfish, or Freshwater Butterflyfish is generally a good community fish, they can be a bit intolerant of other surface swimming fish and have been know to nip fins. They are a predator and will eat small fish."

I don't think I'd like to take the risk myself.
