That's kind of a hard fish to loose/dis-appear. But, a hard one to take care of.

Isn't carpet surfing when your fish jumps out of the tank and dries up on your carpet/floor (tile surfing in my case, but not gonna happen with my lids)?

I never could keep a copperband or any other Butterfly fish more than 3 weeks or so..
to my believe they starved them selfs, no prepared food in the market for them.
I may be wrong though! Oh and I am sorry by the way
