Copperband butterfly

[unibob]

I have an aptasia problem, so wanting to get a copperband. I'm wondering if it will be fine with a bicolour fox face. Other fish will be 2 clowns, mystery wrasse, 2 naso tang and a sailfin tang.

it wouldnt see it being a problem, it more depends on how your other fish are temperment wise, i know when i tried a copperband, my yellow tang wasnt to up for it, at the time i had a foxface too and it didnt seem to care about the new addition, my tang has been in the tank since day one so he gets rather territorial now when i add fish, iirc your tangs havent been in there that long so its worth a try.. if its unsuccessful you can always sell him off before he gets beaten up too bad.

Yep That sailfin will probably try and kick the crap out of it.  If for some reason you can get the copperband in the tank first it might be doable.

The two that are the most likely to bother it would be the tangs.....

could try a filefish hardy, and will almost definitely eat aips.... yes they may take a liking to corals but they are also pretty easy to catch from what I have heard.

Problem is when the aptasia are  gone, and if he eats them, is what will he eat then. I had a few and only one would eat fozen mysis. The others would not eat and died. Only one really ate the aptasia. But once they were gone, he died of starvation. I won't try one again, so i think it's a gamble.

Picked up a nice big fat copperband eating mysis from the ocean this morning, just on way back . If he doesn't work in one tank, I'll move to another.

Good luck.
I love them. But i won't ever try one again. Hope it works out.

I hope it does too. I think it all depends where they come from too , this ones from the ocean

If it doesn't work I might be interested in him

My sailfin is a prick. It doesn't matter what kind of fish I introduce he makes it known that it is his tank. I just got a melanarus wrasse and when it shot in under the sandbed the sailfin waited in that area almost an hour. After a few days he is fine now with the wrasse.

will keep everyone in the loop on how it goes. no one seems to mind the new addition.
