copperband butterflys

[Karen Marlin]

Mine is about that size and about the same thickness...the only time I see his tummy bulge after eating is when I put in a half frozen clam or mussel (in the shell). I do this every second day...after feeding the other fish mysis...and this helps...if I don't do it...I've noticed the copperband's color getting dark and greyish...I think stress from not enough to eat....they eat so slowly...the clam/mussel helps...it can pick at it for awhile and get full.
