A few options for y'all CBB fans..
I am desperate to obtain a Copperbanded Butterflyfish, however due to it's feeding behaviour I am reluctant.
Do you provide any type of live food that would assist in maintaining/sustaining one of these fish?
If u make Prepaid advance deposit against fish. Transferable to next specimen if unsuitable.
Dean/SIMS, I can obtain CBB and maintain for 2-3wks SPECIALLY for you.
If not, maybe you have some advice that would help in keeping these fish alive, thanks.
If sturdy, and eating foods offered, I can send them up to you.
My sources/methods are different to most in RSA.
Live food is NOT part of their menu at AQuality.
Usually a chunk of mussel(in shell) tempts them, as well as BLOODWORM,sometimes Artemia, or Mysis then moved onto granulate/pellets. Most foods will be fortified with ReefPlus.
I lace diet with GarlicGuard, or Entice to lure fish into eating nutritionally suitable, or more than 1 food item.
I would also love to keep one of these but will not get one unless there is a 90% chance I can feed it? ?
OH, I include enough food to cover another 2 weeks feeding, when I send them out.
This gives you opportunity to wean or continue , if you want to.
I'd say my CBB survival rate is most satisfactory.

if you want to try this route.
For the above-mentioned reasons/time/effort, obviously my livestock prices are more, but well worth it.
