Sorry to hear that Greg. They are such awesome little fish, it really stings when they go.

As a group they just don't seem to do well long term in captivity.

Thanks Tony, I was hoping that it would be good for at least a year, live and learn. Time to find another fish that I really really want.

I tried 2 copperbands, and both didn't make it. I wouldn't recommend them.

So what is your next fishy?

I would like a Blond Naso Tang or a Powder Blue as well as a Koran Angel, have not figured it out yet. It will depend on what I see first and the FS at a good price next time I am in the city's.

I have a blonde Naso, very beautiful fish, probably a little easier to keep than a Powder Blue.

+1, Achilles tang would be amazing if you can find a healthy one that stays alive in your tank. Sorry to hear about the Copperband Greg, I ended up taking mine back to the LFS as he was munching on my LPS. Such a shame there such nice fish with great personalities.

Tank looks great, sorry to hear about your CBB. I got really lucky with the first one I ever got 3 and a half years ago, ate mysis right from the start and still does. Also ironically one of the only fish I have that not only survived marine velvet, never even seemed to be phased by it or the copper treatment. However the 2nd CBB I tried died 2 weeks after I got it.

My CBB was a pig when it came to mysis so I have no idea what happened.

I have to look up Achilles Tang to see what it is but it sounds like it is a sweet fish.
