Nice pic Tony. I can confirm that fish is one aggressive and pushy little SOB. Trying to hand-feed the eel was fun with that bully nailing the shrimp.

Can I ask the people with Copperbands what you find them eating mostly in your tanks? Flake/Pellet/Cyclopeeze/Frozen, etc?

Mine goes after brine, mysis, white worms and hunts feather dusters & asptasia down like no other.

Actual submission:


You would think being a butterfly he would go after zoas , he's never shown interest luckily enough.

this ones got my vote as well as on the previous page "dancing with a Tang" to beautiful pictures! I love the color

[Zoaelite]

I might change my upload in that case , why has no one else uploaded photos beside Tony and I?

I have a feeling that & the lack of sticky might be hindering the success of POTM. Uploading downgrades the quality of the photo, would be nice to see POTM back to it's old form.

Yup, I like this one, too. Beautiful background to the fish....

How often are you guys feeding them?

I feed mine small bits of food 3 or 4 times a day. He only gets a few bites each time, as the other fish clean up the food very quickly. That's why I feed more often.
