Chelmon rostratus

[Bojan]

I have my Chelmon rostratus more than 5 years in my aquarium.

It is quite long for this fish, so this is the reason that I post this thread.

I bought this nice fish on 10th february 2007

That's great! What size tank is he in, and what are the tankmates?

 

[Bojan]

Aquarium size is 470 liters.

It is possible to see most of the tankmates on the picture with the exception of A. japonicus and Pseudochromis fridmani.

Very nice! I bet the low stocking levels contribute greatly to your success.

Outstanding! Any issues with yellow tang and the copperband. I have always been kind of leary with tangs and butterflies

That's a very nice tank and a nice CBB!

There's nothing nicer than large established colonies allowed to grow out. Too bad more people don't run tanks like this.

I have had yellow tang in this tank from the beggining (more than 9 years), so yellow tang had been 4 years in aquarium , when cooperband had been settled to aquarium. I have never seen any fight between yelow tang and cooperband.

Thanks Bojan! I have always thought the bodyshape might cause an issue there.
