New addition

After determining the cause of my tangs unfortunate passing and it was sickness or disease, we add a new fish to take his place! We named him Johnny cash since he is loud and flashy lol!

I know they are super tough but my LFS kept him for 2 months before I would bring him home. So he's been eating frozen mysis for the last 8 weeks hoping it will continue in my tank!

We will see first feeding of mysis will be in the morning but my LFS fed him for the last 8 weeks so I'm hopeful has always been one of my bucket list fish!

Have had mine for over 3 years and being fed mysis as well. First try for me with a copperband and I have had success. Key is find a healthy one to start with, mine was small as well. Good luck

Good luck, they are beautiful and very beneficial fish. A trick I learned from someone in this forum is to freeze small clams and pop 1-2 in the tank each day depending on your fishload. As they thaw they open and the CBB is the first that can get at the meat inside. This has helped me keep my current one for almost a year after many unsuccessful much shorter attempts.
