copperband

Hi all, It’s been a few weeks now since introducing my copperband into the display and it’s eating well on live black worms, clams and muscles. It has a strong appetite and it seems like I picked up a good one.. until last night I observed Ich on the fins/tail. It’s almost impossible to...

Hi all, So I picked up my first Copperband a couple of weeks ago and after a few days with no feeding success, it’s going crazy for bloodworms. I also tried half clams and it didn’t show any interest but it’s now also taking muscles which is great! I’m a bit paranoid as to how much I should...

Hey everyone haven’t posted in over a year but I am hoping back on the forum more and more slowly but surely. I’m going to be getting in a quarantined batch of fish and it includes a bonded pair of copperbands. In the past I introduced my copperband without an acclimation box allowing my...

Hello friends, I just wanted to know your opinions and experiences about this symptom around the beak of this butterflyfish. Any exact diagnosis? Do you have suggestions for medication? Amoxicillin in water and food couldn't help, I may go for Florfenicol today This one feeds on dried shrimp...

Hello! I have 2 tangs, a purple and yellow. They have a habit of ganging up on certain newcomers (killed a powder blue tang and a coral beauty angel on seperate occasions). Right now I have a copperband in the tank with a partition up so the tangs can't get her. To avoid aggression I thought it...

Just wanted to come on here and share my experience buying a quarantined CBB from TSM Aquatics. After (unsuccessfully) trying my luck with 3 different CBB's from my LFS in the past year, I finally decided to bite the bullet and purchase a quarantined specimen from TSM Aquatics. Josh was very...

Hi everyone, just wanted to share just another cautionary tale for the use of Flatworm Exit. I want to share my journey to help others make informed decisions and avoid similar mistakes. Tank size: 210 gal, 9 months old Mostly fish with a couple of soft corals and large euphyllias Around a...

He’s always out and about unless I approach the tank, that’s when he hides and stays hidden until I distance myself. He’s curious and all, but he just doesn’t want to eat anything I give him (shrimps and clams). He’s 2 days old now

Want to ween your CBB off of live food/clams, or, teach him to feed out of this so he's not out-competed in the tank during feeding time (*cough* tangs *cough*)? Then you need this in your life, and so does your CBB, hah. The 'inside' ends combine to form a protected cylinder which is where you...

Hi There! We have had our CBB for a little over a month now. Before I get started, Gill eats almost 2 clams a day or Mussels (out of Clams) and Mysis shrimp constantly. He is always swimming around and very agile. Lastly, our water levels are all spot on. Today I noticed the 2-3 white specs on...

One of the fish I have always dreamed of owning when I got a large tank was a butterflyfish - specifically a Copperband or Racoon butterflyfish. Now that I've got an established 125g tank (w/Trigger Emerald 34 sump), I was considering getting a Copperband. I made the decision that I wanted to...

SO - somehow - no clue how - I ended up with some aiptasia anemones. I just tried to kill them with 'removal' - and a month later - I had 50. They weren't spreading - and I personally don't mind them - they didnt seem to hurt anything - when it increased to more than that - I thought - hmmm...

Hi everyone! My first time posting here! I’m looking for some advice on fish stocking for my 120gal mixed reef. The tank is 5’x2’x2’. I have a large sump in the basement - total water volume 170gal. The tank has been up and running for 3 years (including a house move) and has a majority of SPS...

I really need help with my Copperband Butterflyfish. I recently purchased it about three days ago. On day one he was not eating, it was only in the evening when I fed it frozen artemia, marine mix, and mussel meat cubes did he eat. On day two; he was eating but it looks like he was not 'fighting...

Hi guys my copperband developed this bump or lump on bottom of the bottom lip/beak. Anyone know what this is?

I bought this copperband butterfly from Liveaquaria. It came with a white big spot in its back fin and one side fin. After one day he is showing more but they look a bit different that ich. They are bigger. Do you have any idea what can it be and what should I use? I have to say he is eating...
