All butterflies are for very experienced expert aquarists, and Copperbands have one of the lowest survival rates of any of them.

get a racoon, heinochus, or paucifasciatus. i had a good experience w/ lemons, he and my desjardinia sailfin had a symbiotic relationship of types, the butterfly would root out space under the rock for them to sleep and the tang would drag over food for em.
