Couldn't agree more with the last three posts and it's completely on the buyer to make smart choices.....I guess if we never brought them in they wouldn't be in our hobby in the first , at one time just about all the fish we have in our hobby were considered impossible to keep alive by the average hobbyst, but as time goes by technology gets better and people make breakthroughs with hard to keep fish

Personally I wouldn't buy a copperband but I know of those who have done well with them so hopefully someday it will be possible to own one for it's full lifespan

Although I do see what you mean pat, and a good lfs should answer all your questions and support their product
