Copperband Butterfly Pic!

Hi All!

This is a pic of my beautiful copperband butterfly that I purchased to rid my tank of aiptasia which it did with the help of three peppermint shrimp.

Very nice. I may have to get one.

great pics johnny,thanks.dave

Very nice looking CB! I was never lucky enough to have my shrimp eat the aiptasia and had to inject them. Nice when nature takes it's course and no chemicals are needed!

essmaker · 11-21-2003, 11:39 AM

I wish they rented those aiptasia killers. Beautiful fish!

Gotta be my all-time favorite fish and you captured it nicely.

Thanks Johnny!

Very beautiful copperband Woodstock!! Gotta love a butterfly!

BoomerD · 11-23-2003, 12:12 PM

Have always liked them, but will they eat all the tube worms & other "feathery" things in the tank?

Montanareefer · 11-23-2003, 04:29 PM

Hey BoomerD! They will eat all your little feather dusters and probably the bigger ones but I was willing to pay the price for this beautiful fish and have no regrets for doing so!

Woodstock · 11-23-2003, 05:00 PM

Yep, feather dusters are like candy to them!

Craig Manoukian · 11-23-2003, 05:19 PM

That's the problem with introducing species to eradicate things. If we could only train them to eat a specific diet. Where are those shock collars when you need'em?

LOL

PS Great looking fish guys!
