copperband butterfly fish?

Check liveaquaria.com. About 3X the price. Surprisingly, a friend of mine ordered his Aussie CBB at about the same time I got the Indo Pacific and his perished while mine adopted well. However, I bought 2 before I got a hardy one. I think there is a lot of variability in the survival of these fish but the collection techniques of the Australian ones are much more conducive to their survival. Also, get a small one if possible; they seem to fare better.

ok. so are the ones from live aquaria pretty nice then? I don't want to get some crappy looking cbb because I bought it off the internet instead of a lfs.

i've had my CBB for about a year now. the only thing mine ate that it wasn't supposed to eat, was a tube worm, most folks i know have experienced the same thing. he has never gone after any other coral or clam, but tube worms beware.
