He's looking great Chuck! Have you changed or added to his diet?

Keep up the good work, I think they are beautiful fish!

Regards,

Thanks guys ... haven't really changed the diet. Enriched brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, and scallops. He loves the scallops

Chuck,

I think he's obese j/k.Jokes aside,he looks great,color,his fins are perfect,bright eyed... I think you're home with this one.

Thanks Gene

I think the handfed scallops was a big part in doing the trick ... maybe now you won't get spammed on here with all of my copperband pictures week to week ...

Chuck,
I loved to follow a progress of your fish and thank you for documenting it.

Whatever worked,it was because you were trying and willing to feed it by hand if needed.Voila, you got a great looking fish
I remember writing to Darren Walker and asking him when my fish will start eating Aiptasia and he said not to worry,it will definately eat it.Sure enough...it did,but I like the fish for his looks as well and a friendly disposition(towards me anyway).

Nice looking fish all the way Chuck. By the way, where did you acquire the fish from?

Keep us updated.

I agree Gene, I did not get my copperband for it's aptaisia eating, but for it's looks and personality ... I love this fish ...

Elmo .... I got it from The Marine Center

FISHme ... I'm glad you got yourself a great fish out of the experience I had with them.

Good luck with it.

Thumbs up

He looks GREAT! (think Tony the Tiger-like!)

He's definitely plumping up (no more little hollow space, huh -- it's now all full of scallops )

BTW -- how big are these little guys supposed to get in captivity?

His color etc, are terrific, as Gene already mentioned.

Keep the pics coming (we would NEVER complain...)

Rebecca

Thanks Rebecca ... he is doing well these days. I am very happy for that.

I think they can get upwards of 6" or so in captivity if I am not mistaken.
