This video is about how I acclimated my copperband butterfly fish to my tank from point of purchase through acclimation, what I feed, and how I care for him.
Journey
Wrapped bag in my jacket to black out bag for the ride home to reduce stress
Blacked out tank upon acclimating so other fish don’t swarm him
Day 1 reduced my white time to reduce bright day light day 1
Observations
Always grazing and looking
One benefit I had was the place I got him from had him in a blacked out tank full of live rock which reduced his acclimation to aquarium life
Peaceful fish and gets along with everyone. Yellow tang and him from time to tang need space.
Feeding
PE Mysis is primary food - now
First foods were upon acclimation were brine shrimp, PE Mysis, raw shrimp from the meat counter at the grocery store shaved very fine and soaked in garlic guard
