Copperband butterfly

[au mister]

I bought a copperband butterfly today. I've heard mixed feelings about them. Anyone have any suggestions that may help.

is it eating? if not, try frozen mysis and get some littleneck oysters from the supermarket. once its eating youre good to go.
i love mine, its my favorite fish.

I have no and it's great. It will eat featherduster, but other than that it's a wonderful fish.

Actually I just feed my fish brine and the copperband ate very well. I thought that was great considering he has been in this tank for just a couple of hours. He is hiding a little but that is typical. All of my fish I have gotten have hid for a day or so.

i've had mine for 6 months now and is doin good. he didn't eat right away but started eating when i put mysis in the tank.
