RnB Posted August 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 My tang is quite timid but I suspect that that will change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianemone Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 what kind of setup do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RnB Posted August 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 Nothing in the tank to worry the copperband apart from the yellow tang.... who does seem timid. Its been there about 9 months now I Will give it a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pies Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 Lots of people loose CBBs to yellow tangs. Awesome fish though. Pies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skuzza Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 I saw a web site of a reef tank with a copper band and the guy recons that it was the best fish he ever owned. It ate all the undesirables,he called it his doctor fish.Luck maybe?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RnB Posted September 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 just play figthing over open space..... the new CB seems very happy, I will post piccie soon. My Y Tang seems to have got quite fat , whats another grazer that has the same diet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RnB Posted October 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 CB has eaton almost all the Aptasia!!!! but is getting a hard time from the Yellow tang, does most of its feeding in half light, once tang gets out front, it uses standover tatics to keep the CB out of the way..... luckily the CB is larger then the YT and so is not totally dominated.... anyone else here have a CB????

kevan Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Do you have any yellow polys and if so is copper band leaving them alone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RnB Posted October 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 If you want to frag me a small piece i could test with him/her..... swap for a blue zoo frag this weekend if you want.... but it would be freshly fragged, you have to give it tender loving care for a few weeks. would be about 10 polps (sp?) of course my CB is so busy eating (eaton) all the Aptasia that it might be full anyway 8) such a beautiful fish, I am glad it has settled into the tank and the others are now leaving it alone! barry gave me a tip re using fresh mussles..... it does eat these.

RnB Posted October 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 i have very little really tank is almost a FOWLR :-? a big empty 500L tank Most of my friends say they are mavuey blue, they are the matt type that produces a very uniform looking zoo...... in the middle they have a little spot that glows a bit under blue light, I tried to take photos last weekend , but had focus all wrong, will try again next weekend! I want a red mushroom........ or one of the really dark lush reen ones.... Nick I have read you need to include some stalk to get a new mushroom, but have also read that just hacking them up, then in the dish with small rocks and a net over works well too.... I have lots of the classic blue mushrooms to swap....... in fact happy to give a few of these away for free to anyone who has nothing to swap at the moment.... they are tough, you cannot kill em. I will frag off a lot more zoo's this weekend, the master colany started with about 160 polps..... so will recover fast IMHO. what brand of gel superglue people using? i am just runbber banding them at the moment.

chimera Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 RnB - how is your CBB going? I'm keen on getting one but have heard they can sometimes be difficult to keep. Can you frag him for me? :lol: Anyone else have one? Comments? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 hardfish to keep. i would say 1 in 100 will still be alive in 12 months. Better chance of survival is a tank that has very few fish and lots of live rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimera Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 ok, other fish i'm looking at are: - powder blue tang - sailfin tang - emperor angel - majestic angel - bangaii cardinal easy/medium/difficult? approximate price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
