Approx SIZE 3+ NCHES The Copperband Butterfly will help clean your aquarium of pests while looking great. They are can grow to be about 8" in size, so ample swimming space is necessary. Adults of this butterfly will need about 120 gallons; however, juveniles can get away with smaller aquariums. They won't do well with fish that are overly aggressive, but they will also nip and pick at fish that are very timid. Initially, these butterflies can be shy; making sure there are plenty of hiding places will help them acclimate. The Copperband should not be added to an aquarium in a group. They prefer to be housed singly. Copperbands are very desired because they are known to snack on the pesky aiptasia. They have elongated snot that allows them to get into crevices to feed. Their body is pearly white with dark orange bands running vertically. The Copperband also has a false eye by the caudal fin like many other butterflies. The dorsal fins are jagged and can get caught in nets.
