    Should I add an anemone???

    ...chemical on the plant that causes a reaction, right? You guys are sort of making me paranoid here. I was never stung by mine either...my copperband butterfly fish however had welts on his poor dead body. Clown fish will get darker after wallowing in an anemone, they are immune to the...

    looking for a beautiful fish

    ...be nice. Also, although not always the prettiest, a little algae blenny like a bi color would be cool. Their personality makes up for the lack of looks. What about a bottom dweller like a Greenbanded Goby? Possibly a reef safe butterfly? I LOVED my Copperband Butterfly and it never touched a...

    Need advice on what else I should add to my tank

    Welcome back! Stop being such a stranger here, or I will stalk you on the other site I'm depressed right now as I just lost my Copperband Butterfly that I've had for quite some time today. I'd look into a small harem of Anthias, they'd add some nice color to the tank and are usually peaceful to...

    Boy did I screw up

    ...months,but the little buggers actually cleaned up all the Aiptasia. The trick is don't feed the shrimp to many other things or they won't eat what they are supposed to. The Copperband will do what it can, but it can be overwhelming at first. Patients! You'll get through this. This to, shall pass!

    Am i over filtering?

    Welcome to the forums! Copperband or Threadfin Butterflyfish? There is no such thing as a Copperfin Butterfly..... What were your readings last time you measured them? A full tank shot would be helpful Do you have a protein skimmer? ...and a Hippo Tang does not belong in a 55g.

    SHARK!

    ...for fact that you've already been told numerous times that tangs, triggers and that tuskfish all get too big for a 75. That leaves the Copperband Butterfly. This is NOT a beginner fish by any means and I don't recommend it for you at all. Many of them do not thrive, especially with new hobbyists.

    I think my husband did enter, lol. I love the Copperband! So glad that from day one it never nipped a coral and accepted frozen food. It will even eat from my hand, which I just think is amazing for a fish that is usually shy. Anyone know how to post the pictures larger?
