Compatibility of Fish with Caution

[Sharkz]

I currently have a Henicious in my tank. Have had him for about 2 months now. I'm looking into getting a CopperBand and was wondering if anyone has any experience good or bad with this pairing?

I've had a CBB years ago and did well with him. This current CBB is eating and looks great. But wanted to get some opinions. The compatibility chart says with caution. Just curious if there body types are different enough.

Thanks...

I've had the 2 together a few times in the past w/o issue, though the copperband was in the tank first in all cases. As long as the copperband isn't intimidated by the activity of the Heniochus and the tank is bigger than 120g, then it should be fine.

Some heniochus can be bullies, if yours is one of these then your CBB will probably stress, stop eating, and die. Even fast moving active fish on occasion can intimidate CBB and result in the same thing. If not for this issue you should be fine!

Been 24 hour and all is good so far. The CBB was eating Mysis at the store. Fed the tank 2 hours after he was put in and he eat quite a bit. Swims and hangs out with the Heniochus so far and zero aggression either way so far. So time will tell.
