Chuck,

I've been waiting for this...

He continues to be gorgeous! no little hollow space anymore (all those scallops). His color(s) are also terrific! How big is he now?

Thanks ....

He loves those scallops ... he knows when I put my hand in the tank that there may be scallops in my fingers, he always nibbles at my hand, even when just cleaning the front glass

Chuck,
He looks GREAT!
Unfortunately, my aiptasia killer is passed on

I'm not sure what happened,but after feeding him the day before I've found him dead the next morning.Part of the body was missing as well and it looked like he was prayed upon,but by whom or what?

I wish you continued success with yours Chuck,sorry for venting.

THanks Gene,

So sorry to hear about your CB ... what do you think happened? Did something attack it? Was it eating well each day? Sounds like it was seeming healthy the night before you found it?

Again, so sorry ... that is a tough thing to face.

***zhenya*** · 04-04-2003, 10:36 AM

Thanks Chuck,
Yes, it looked pretty healthy to me the night before.Atleast he ate,that I can confirm.I did notice some reddish markings on him,but did not pay attention to it(stupid,I know).I'm not sure if it was attacked or not,part of his body were missing,but that was job of my serpent and brittle stars.They're rather large,especially the black brittle star,I'd say it spreads about 10-12". I seriuosly doubt that they would go after healthy fish,but an injured or dying one...sure.
It really tiks me off,I haven't lost a fish in a very long time

Way to go Chuck !!!

Gene, sorry to here about your C.B.

Mine is doing very well , it's been about 7 weeks since I got mine .

MtnDewMan · 04-04-2003, 11:22 PM

Gene ... will you give another copperband a go sometime?

FISHme, congrats on your CB, it is looking great.

***zhenya*** · 04-05-2003, 11:19 AM

Mark,

he looks great,enjoy it

Chuck,

I will certainly attempt to aquire a healthy specimen again(if I can ofcourse) and give it a go.I'm thinking of traping my yellow tang and trade it to LFS or give it to someone.As much as I like this fish(I rased this one from about an 1.5" size), it has got some serious size to him and attempting to rule this tank.I'll have none of that

I just love this copperbands

MtnDewMan · 04-05-2003, 10:26 PM

I agree ... Copperbands are awesome fish .. let us know if you attempt to tackle one again.

FISHme · 04-05-2003, 10:43 PM

Yeah Gene !!!!!

We'll be a waitin.
