Newbie here. I have a copperband that has been in my tank for about a month now. He's been doing good eating and acting healthy. Last two days hes stopped eating and now he looks like someone or something has beat him up. He has the spots that look like buisies on him. Any tips to help him out or if there is any care I can do?

What other fish are in the tank? Yellow tang by any chance?

This (http://www.liveaquaria.com/general/compatibility_chart.cfm) might help out when deciding which fish you want to put together.

pull the fish and place into quarentine. If no qt, make a egg crate basket and some how suspend it over the lip of the tank. this will protect the fish from would be attackers. GL when they go down hill its hard to bring them back. My copperbanded and yellow tang are best buds (i got lucky).

cheers,
