    Great news! His coloring looks good and it sounds like you've found something that he likes to eat. It's hard to tell whether he's thin or not from the pics. Good luck. They are beautiful fish and it's a shame they seem to be hard to keep :(

    Good luck hopefully he keeps feeding!! As long as they eat they are supposed to be pretty hardy and easy to keep. Its getting them to eat that makes them listed as difficult from what I understand. Make sure to watch him as they are known to eat for months and then go on strike and stop eating. Beautiful fish!

    Also if that a puffer I see in the tank with him and a yellow tang? Not sure but watch aggression as CBB do not handle stress well and puffers are a little on the agressive side as our the yellow tangs as they get larger, esp towards a fish with similar shape and color like a CBB
