Copperband no longer eating
So I've had this copperband for over a month now. It went through quarantine and always ate frozen mysis right from the start. The past few days it hasnt eaten a thing that I have seen. Any tips or food I should try to get it eating again?
Tank parameters are fine. No changes to anything. Other fish are all fine. It shows interest in the food and stares it down but doesn't eat it. |

Not True at all. I got a couple of Aiptasia before, after a couple of weeks all aiptasia got wiped out and never seen one again.
I have my copperband for more than I year now. I feed him chopped Shrimp and chopped Clams. He is fat and tough, will always stand up for him self when get bullied by my yellow tang. The key is to chopped the shrimps and clams in tiny pieces. |

I have tons of live blackworms at the moment. My cbb absolutely destroys them. Let me know if you want a pinch, the magic is real.

I'd like to add that I tried the "drilled hole in an apparatus" method, but it did not work on my CBB. I tried several items in the beginning, but what got it started was frozen bloodworm. Once it got eating that, then mysis (which it previously did not eat) was on the menu. But nothing compares to live blackworms. He attacks them very aggressively, competing with the other messy eaters. No fish in my system rejects live BW. From what I've read, it's God's gift to marine aquarium fish.

Really? Are people still having this conversation?
After years of these fish doing poorly, and being documented again and again, people still get shocked by this. It's funny and sad at the same.

I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds. |
