Copperband Butterfly

positive tihinking DORY:yes:

I only paid $18 for my Copperband-no wonder it died. I paid $40 for a 2in hippo tang at my lfs and it died too-I no longer go to my lfs.
Well, if he does start misbehaving, that'll be a good excuse to get another tank!
I have to eventually get another tank for my eel-my parents are sick of him eating small expensive fish but I won't get rid of him because he is my favorite fish.

still no coral eating? if not- thats a good thing! how big is this tank? if yes-ur busted.:happyfish

My corals haven't been touched! :jumping: In fact, he doesn't even seem to care that they're there. He's mostly interested in picking at the live rock and swimming back and forth with my schooling chromis! My tank is a 75g, btw.

Thanks everyone for all the compliments! The funny thing is, we never intended on buying him! We went into our lfs to buy a peppermint shrimp hoping it would eat our aiptasia. They were out of those and recommended him instead. And you know what? It's one week later and all our aiptasia is gone! :jumping: :cheer:

You think thats expensive, i just bought a $99 dollar blue hippo tang, but we got them to drop it down to $89.

Dory i cant tell you how much i like your rock work, My tank looks like crap right now due to my new lights, they have ignighted an algea bloom!!! Bigarn says it will slowly go away. Great Tank, you deserve it! Todd

I loooove copper bands, we have been trying to get them at my lfs for awhile now, but my dealer wont buy them if he sees that a bunch have crashed from his collector. If you can get good ones that dont crash they are wonderful.

I have one myself. Cool fish but mine hides alot. Hes getting better but still hides. I would get a neon goby but i think my big pink spotted watchman goby would eat him.

is that a lot of chromis's i see? i only have 2

 

[dory36]

Yes, I have 7 of them! They're schooling, too!

 

[rubberduck]

nice, love the rockwork

 

[mwaraxa]

yeah i love your rockwork also. If you only have a 75 gal tank, the way you laid your stuff out makes your tank looke huge!
I have less rock but they are bigger pieces. I'm not sure if i like how it looks. Take a peek
