Copperbanded butterfly

Not that bad looking, but grow right and big

Beautiful fish

Very beautiful but one of the harder ones to keep as per all butterflyfish species I feel.

Ye these are beauts But have heard a lot of experienced marine keepers avoid as they usually stop feeding and die

See marine fish so much to learn! just like cichlids you need to research everything before buying or even setting up!

I know , but the sad thing is the dent on the wild life it leaves Cichlids can be commercially bred bred all over, while most marine fish are a 100% wild and caught using cyanide. Its a shame i wonder what really dies from all that cyanide just while they try to catch a few fish

95% of fish caught using cyanide will die, plus the coral is badly effected by it also. Reports show that about 20% of fish caught are done so by the use of cyanide and most of them will die during shipping. Such a shame to have to resort to catching fish this way.
And because of this fish caught by nets are now far more expensive to buy.
