Copper band butterfly

[Rmonson]

I got a copper band butterfly yesterday and I was wondering what the best food to feed them is

I'm not sure on food but have any pics?Also how big is your tank.I want one as well.thanks

 

[Rmonson]

My tank is a 30 gallon but the fish is still small

 

[Rmonson]

He is always behind the rocks so it is hard to get a pic but when he is used to the tank il see if I can get a pic

copperbands can be difficult to feed their also difficult to keep you can try to dice up some clam or shrimp they may eat frozen brine shrimp.

 

[Rmonson]

A shrimp or clam that a person would eat?

 

[tonedogz]

Yes you can buy them frozen and thaw them as you need them you can also try mussels and scallops to

 

[Rmonson]

Alright il give that a try thanks

 

[Rmonson]

Will they jump out of the tank if there is no hood on it

 

[bettaowner]

It's possible. I'd try krill or mysis if that doesn't work.

 

[Rmonson]

I think mine jumped out and my cat ate it

 

[ebondaruk]

that sucks. maybe your CUC got to him? was he eating anything before he went MIA?

 

[Rmonson]

I never saw him eat anything I only had him for 1 day too

I just found the bones of the fish in my tank, I have an anenome that is behind the rock that the copper band hung out by all the time is it possible that it got too close and the anenome got a hold of him
