CBB in a reef

i wanna hear success/failure of keeping a CBB in a reef enviroment

 

coral beauty or coral banded shrimp?

 

copper banded butterfly

 

doh. lol

 

i work at an aquarium and we have had people who have had one forever and they say its an amazing fish to have. i personally dont have one but my bosses had one for about 10 years in one of their home tanks and said it was a really good fish.

 

This is one of those 50/50 situations, I personally would not try it, but thats me.


luna

 

but as luna says it is a 50/50 cause i have had people who have told me they died within 2 or three months.

 

yea i know everyone says its 50/50 thats why i wanna know personal stories

 

i had mine for about a month.... he died. awesome for aiptasia control.

I think the key is proper diet... and being able to get the CBB to eat it.

in regards to other inhabitants. The CBB will eat all your featherdusters. He did poke at my clam at times. But other than that was fine.

 

so i got my cbb and i placed him in qt and hes already eatting frozen mysis shrimp...thats a good sign im thinking!
