"** no one gets lucky with CBBs, you just get luckier in keeping them. i have yet to meet a person who has one that lives their entire lifespan"
That's a pretty difinitive statement. I can't say that my CBB will live as long as he would have in the wild. I can't say that about any of my fish, or corals for that matter. That said, I wouldn't recommend just anyone go out and buy one. I took a great deal of time debating this purchase. I can't use peppermint shrimp, as my saltwater catfish WILL eat them. Joe's Juice and Kalk Paste were only moderately effective, and inneffective on all the ones I couldn't reach or see. Berghia are an alternative I would recommend over a CBB. I also made sure that my CBB ate frozen food at the LFS before I purchased. These fish are NOT for everyone, but some people do have success. But I guess that all depends on how you define success. Some people will never be happy with any results short of captive breeding. No offense, just my opinion.
