I've moved him to the 50 gal. Before moving him he had started to lose some color. It doesn't look good.
He was eating brine, mysis and bloodworms before and could be hand fed within 2 months of having him. By far my favourite fish. Its a shame he was so friendly and appeared to be doing very well 2 days ago. Since moving him to the 50 gal he has displayed the same behaviour and is hanging out around the bottom very weak.

So sorry to hear that!
 CBB is one of my favorites too and would be very sad if anything went wrong with mine. I find myself always watching mine to be sure he is eating normally...hope I never see the same as you are seeing. SORRY!

Sorry that he did not make it. It really sucks to lose a fish.
I have tried two CBB and neither of them lasted a week. Both of them seemed to be eating well but both suddenly went downhill and died within hours. I will never try another until I can be guaranteed that they were not cyanide caught. Quote:

Sorry for your loss. I find with CBB's about 80% of them die within a few months of purchase. However of the 20% or so that last more then a few months, I find them to be fairly hardy. I've had mine for about 2 years now and he is one of my few fish that survived the marine velvet nightmare that I went through. Ironicly my CBB never really even showed signs or symptoms of the disease.

I have noticed with CBB's that if they are eating prepared foods they still need 50% of their sustenance to derive from their hunting and picking methods (live food). They don't seem to get down very much food at one time so multiple feedings a day is required. They are one of my favorite fish. Sorry to hear of your loss.
