Copperband Butterfly - Chelmon rostratus
Dates in Tank: 2005-12-22 - 2007-02-01
Purchase Location: Aquatic Creations

DateNote
2007-02-01The copperband just didn't seem to be getting enough food and even though he lived over a year he did not last long term.
2006-01-11The copperband is now eating from an improvised feeding station. I took a mussel and split it open wide enough so the copperband could get it's nose in the mussel, but other fish could not. It didn't take too long for the copperband to feed. Now I can put other foods in there (frozen mysis, and blood worms are all I've tried so far).
2005-12-28Have not seen this fish eat any prepared foods, but it has cleaned out aptasia and feather dusters.
2005-12-22I have loved copperbands since I got into saltwater. I had one a long time ago (back in the 80s, before I knew any better), so I had been scoping out one for my reef. This one showed up and came home with me.
