Copperband ~ EATING!!!!!! ~

I would not buy a copperband online. With them it's very important that they not be netted, and that might be hard to find out from an internet vendor. Other than that I've had some great experiences with them. They eat aptasia very well, and rarely have I seen problems with one going after coral.

Thanks for the help guys, im buying it from a friend that has a fish store in west virginia, hes not on this forum bc he has his own, but he does hold them for 2 weeks, then ships them, he will start feeding them what i feed, and i do a mix or rods food, brine (live) mysis, pellets and cyclopes

 

That's cool. Good luck.

Wanna see some pics when you get it.

 

For sure! It will be a few weeks yet but he just placed the order for a few hundred fish so, ill get cherry pick on the ones i want, along with some amazing acroporas he orders all maricultured and they just blow others away

 

Dude for 90 bills he better eat everything, sign language and speak a few languages. I know every LFS is different but they are prolly charging you for the food the fed it to make it start eating.

 

LOL @ ReefBruh.......That was great

 

Yea probably, but i know ive asked to see a few of his fish eat, and he wont b/c he feeds before he opens, and he doesnt want to "contaminate the water" so i havent bought anything from him as far as fish go, i picked up a blue milli from him, that he fragged from a colony and after he cut it up, my frag is the only one that made it, so i dont really trust his live stock, he's got rose bubble nems under compacts.. and they are on all in one acrylic set up thats like a single unit, so its maybe 12x12 cubes that all these fish are in..

 

Alright guys! Just recieved the phone call my CB is in!! I will be going to pick him up tonight at 4-5 depending on when i want to leave work!! im itching to now but i wont have time to float him and acclimate him.. I will be posting pictures when he is all swimming around On, a side note should i kick my lights off so he can get used to the tank? i know lights can shock them and these are very sensitive fish so i want to make sure i do this right!!

 

I would leave the lights off. It wouldnt hurt anything. Congratulations on the purchase!

 

Thanks! Im really excited, finally purchasing one of my favorite fish, ive done way to much research on them the past month and many trips to the store to prepare for his arrival! ive got just about every different kind of food known to man at this point, my freezer door is stacked full! I hope i dont run into any issues :-[
