Copperband Butterfly fish, Worms!

How long have you had this fish? Some CCB's seem to eat and eat and still dont survive more than a couple of weeks. With CCB's I think you have to get past 4 to 6 weeks before you can start relaxing.

Lots of fish have internal parasites that most people are completely unaware of. Researchers are becoming more aware in recent years. I have used PraziPro baths with good results. It even has a picture of a CBB on it. Haha!

Check into Cyanide caught fish.

Read that there's something like that the fish can eat but because of damage to the stomach and intestine or bacteria within, they'll still starve.

Yes, this fish will come to the surface to eat out of my hand. I know cyanide isn't a problem because I got the fish at the store I work at and we don't get cyanide caught fish.

I have used used Prazi on African cichlids in the past when I got wild stock to breed so I will try that.
Any other Ideas
Thanks Super7

I have had the fish for about two months now give or take a week.
