I lost the copper banded butterfly last night. I am not so sure i will try another. TO hard to tell if they are eating.

sorry to hear that, they can be very finicky eaters and unless you get one that you actually see eat mysis they are hit and miss.

I was sure when I got him that he would probalby not last, but for the price I got him at, I had to try. If I try another one later on, it will have to be bigger. he was the smallest thing in the tank.

Did you ever try the brine shrimp?

 

[Fireworm]

Not yet. I am still looking into it. Not sure if I want to do it in my sump, or set up a seperate tank for the kids to do it.

Or you could order some sea monkeys from the comics.....kids love them....

Copper Band...

Copper Band...

I have found them to be EXTREMELY tempermental (picky). I tried one as well...lost him rather quickly. I had an aiptasia problem some time ago...got him, died, then picked up a threadfin, they killed off the ENTIRE population of the little pest anemones. Then, they died because they wouldn't eat anything else. Tried squid, but didn't seem to appear to be too big into that either. To this day I don't have any more aiptasia in my tank.

They are a beautiful fish, no doubt...but I don't think I will try another. I would pickup another Threadfin though. I am not into putting chemicals in my tank...just me I guess.

Talk to you all later,
-Chris

Good to see FWMAS is still going strong...haven't been here in about a year, perhaps a little less. Economy has been a real downer in my business. No extra money to buy for the hobby.

 

[Fireworm]

You are still more than welcome to come to a meeting
