Who Says You Shouldn't Add Copper....

Let's see those copperbands!

Nice fish! I've always loved them, but have never seen that particular species here in the Bahamas..Just the 4 eye, reef butterfly and bandit (if that's their proper names (LOL)). Also, I've heard they don't do quite well in tanks. I would assume that is a shot of your tank...Right? If so, you might as well stop teasing and post a picture of the whole thing(LOL) I'm a photo freak!

"Fantasia" eating her favorite meal... clam chowder!

 

[Woodstock]

I had 2 CBB's for several months with no problems... I ended up trading the smaller one to a local reefer with a 420 gal tank. Both got along fine and ate mush like pigs.

Here is Fantasia eating some homemade mush. I have had her for over 2 yrs now. She is fat and sassy for sure!

Here is a video of them eating...

Those have to be one of my favorite looking fish. I will get a bigger tank one day to support one of those for sure.

That is interesting! Where can I read the details of that gadget?

 

[Scooterman]

Wow that is some Sweet fishes!

Chuck, have you tried live mysis, and or fresh manilla clam?

Maybe it's just gorging down on your duster worms for the moment.

Hope she starts eating Chuck.

I am going to try some manilla clams tonight. I am sure the live mysis will get eaten by other tank mates far sooner than the copperband could get to them. Where do you get them by the way?

 

[Elmo18]

You usually have them propagate themselves in the low flow sump/refugium in LR rubble. Very cool live foods to have.

Brine shrimp will have a similar feeding response, but for some reason the mysis 'swim' differently than the brine, and the mysis is much more nutritious.

[Elmo18]

Wlel actually....it probably is true taht you will not have any live mysis Chuck. I just remembered about your GSM clown pair down there. They're probably having a good time
