looks like a copperband butterfly. how long have you had it? has it been eating? and are your params stable? they can be difficult to keep.

 

yeah iv had it 2 weeks, just noticed recently he wont eat . everything is stable and perfect . i tried manually feeding , he wont accept the food?.... im out of ideas

 

thats a big problem with the cbb's. wont eat. they will go after aiptasia , but once thats gone , alot starve. which sounds like whats happening here. have you tried garlic soaking some mysis?

 

no i havent tired that , and im unfamiliar wit that?.. can i save him,? he swims now and then. but he looks laizy

 

mabe go to the lfs and see if the have any rock with aiptasia ? this is only a temp solution though. + 1 on garlic soaking... i also found fish like vitamin c soaked foods. or selcon soaked...

 

good ideas also lone. hopefully he can get it eating.

 

im dealing with a similar problem with my black cap basslet except i got him knowing he was iffy

 

my basslet was a complete pig for mysis , actually anything. lol. but as weve all seen, ya just never know with them.

 

he is laying upside down , but he is breathing very slowly . i think iv lost this one. damn .such a nice fish
