Default copperbands

coppper bands are a real hit or miss. The one I bought was in perfect conditon, clear eyes responsive and very beatiful. He started eating the next day and then poof a month later he died. If it were me I would put copperbands into a reef system where they can be pampered,otherwise they just dont seem to do well. Pearscales are a better choice in my opinion for the community tank...dont want one of these in your reef! They still are picky like most butterflys and need clean oxygenated water and an aged system.
hope this helps
