Well,
I got my first order from Fishotel.com. It was supposed to be a QTed royal pencil wrasse. Unfortunately two days before shipping the wrasse got taken out by whatever fish he was in with. Happened after living together for four weeks. I was seriously bummed out.

He got a copperband and multibat angel at the same time. The plan was if he got them through QT he would offer them up for purchase to anyone interested. When he spun the wheel my name was selected. So instead of a royal pencil wrasse I ended up with a copperband instead.

I placed him in the small 60g observation tank with my rhomboid wrasse and recently acquired baby captive bread regal angel. After about and hour he was out and about. Already eating mysis. Fast forward three days later and he comes to the front of the tank looking for food anytime I come by. Doing well so far. Once he is a little bigger the plan is to put him in the 180 display. Just worried about my purple tang or his ability to compete for food at this size.

Looks great! One day I hope to get a copperband. I have hesitated since I am not sure what I would do for feed while on vacation. Going your route by purchasing a CBB that is already feeding seems like a great way to go.
