That's unfortunate, but as evident by this thread & others related to Copperbands, the survival rate is low on these beauties. To be honest I have no idea why they're still offered for sale based on the high mortality rate. I too was tempted by the beauty of these fish & purchased one not long after getting into the hobby. Did fine for a while, but then I had the awful experience of watching him starve to death. That was enough for me to not ever consider trying to keep another.
