Copperband Butterfly Experience

[TonyC]

Just wanted to share my recent experience with a Copperband. I lost mine last night after approx 2 months. It was eating mysis ok but then stopped eating altogether. He lasted about 3 days like this and then was gone. Just want to echo all of the great advice I have seen on this site; stay away from these if you are just starting out. They are very attractive and cool looking fish, but just do not do well in captivity overall.
