After more than a year, my Copperband Butterfly Fish suddenly found with least 3 bites out of its tail. This was out of the blue. Uncertain who did this in tank, though historically my tangs and flame angel have been Death Dealers... but July 2021 did 3 weeks of acclimation box and rehomed worst offender (sailfin, similar stripe markings, this is documented in other post(s)).
Used large egg crate cut to become tank divider and gave CBB 1/4th tank to heal. After couple weeks, CCBB PTSD seemed to get worse, and when CBB twitched when a small tiara anthias came near, I had enough.
Here is a photo of my CBB hiding up at my return pumps.
Many of you know my BF said no more tanks over and over. Didn't care. CBB has stopped eating.
Said non-negotiable I'm getting second tank because it is either that or rehome CBB. However, those that have followed my CBB success (other thread) know that my success is due to feeding live black worms which is an expensive proposition for someone else to take on. Don't know that I could find someone willing to take on traumatized CBB that only eats live black worms (and now nothing).
