Just wanted to share my experience with my Copperband.


After much research, debate, and battle with Aptasia, I decided to try my luck at a CBB.

Richard and Mark at CB Pets are know for their Quarenteed process and I decided if I were going to get one, this is where I was going to buy it.

Todd told me he had just been up there and they had 3-4 of them in Quarentine and an especially large one.

I called there and asked that Mark and Richard hold the biggest one till I could get there the next day.

Went there and saw this Monster eat some blood worms and found out he had been in low salinity quarentine for a few weeks and although he was kind of shy, he was really healthy.

Brought him home and for about the first three weeks, he still seemed shy, staying just in the left side of the tank almost constantly.
Feeding didnt seem to be going well either.
I tried Black mussles, white blood worms, red blood worms, mysis, brine, everything and didnt seem to touch all of the aptasia.

Well a great update................I walk by the tank last night and it just dawned on me, I cannot find a SINGLE piece of aptasia! NOT ONE!
I had some pretty big pieces and they are ALL gone! And I had a bunch!

I have also seen him eat a little bit of frozen, but not agressively, but he seems to be munching down on all the Aptasia I had!!!!

I just want to take a second and convey my appreciation for CB's and thank them for taking the time to Quarentine these CBB which can be a VERY hard fish to keep.

I have bought great fish from FinnAddict and Aquatic Warehouse, but I really wanted my CBB to be treated and quarentined b4 I purchased.

So, if you have aptaisia, and a good tank that could house a difficult fish, CB is the place to get a CBB.

Oh, and it was very reasonably priced, $38 for a large!!
Attached is a pic. He is about 5"

Thanks Richard and Mark.
