yes i agree w/kipass, they or neother type of butterfly are really hard to take care of and wouldnt be a good choice for your first fish

Yeap, cooperband butterfly is a very sensitive fish and it is not a good idea to be a first fish in the tank, start out with something hardy like the clowns or the wrasse then think of cooperband later.... I had one after the tank fished cycle, it died a week later.....
