Copper banded butterfly

I hear the success rate is 1/10, how accurate is this? If it's fat and looks happy, is that a good sign? Can it deal with copper and prazi treatments? How well does it do with semi aggressive fish?

My personal experience with prazipro is mine did fine. Mine can be a bit of a bully, to smaller fish. But it panicked when I added a pyramid that was bigger than it. Of course the pyramid ignored it and my cbb took a few days to come out of hiding. Mine will only eat live black worms. Did not treat with copper. So no experience there.

There sensitive to copper so you gotta watch how you dose copper but prazipro is fine and they like black warms and live brine shrimp and frozen mysis shrimp atleast mine does

Mine is a pig... favourites are blackworms and fresh mussels. Picks away at the rocks all day long too... assume it's pods it's eating.

Keeps himself to himself and goes into hiding when the tangs have a bit of a scuffle... but is ignored by them. He's in with a heni too and they get on fine.

Also didn't treat with copper... sorry. Have heard they don't tolerate it, so if you want to ensure no ich suggest TTM.

If it is eating, then it's odds are greatly increased.

I've found eating specimens are hearty to meds. And can also deal with moderately semi aggressive fish.
