hi..

does any one of u happen to keep a CB butterflyFish??

read from the net, knew it quite fussy on eatting..

been feeding it 3 days ..

mysis, brine, cycno, pellets..

nuttin seems to be on its menu..

i got this CopperBand cuz heard it frm some reefers that it MIGHT feed on aiptsia..

thou not all CopperBands could, but i juz wanna try..

so conclusion, mine doesnt feed on the aiptsia @ all..

anywhere anyone has a better idea..

wat to feed this CopperBand??

my PBrT is eating well now..

got worried for a while..

Copperband is very hard to feed, either you get one that is already feeding or you don't get one. One choice you can try is to get live brine shrimp, maybe it will eat.

I've got my Copperband for over 1 week. It would feed off the LR and live brine shrimp. Some websites suggest Freshwater blood worm and tubifex worm, but not on a long term basis. Hopefully the copperband will convert to prepared food eventually.

both on prepared food (henry's mix), cyclopeze... AND atapsia!

maybe you can try that..

here's something .. artipods from AM works quite well too .. make sure it's being target fed .. coz it's slower and slightly cockeyed .. my triggers and tangs are always faster than it ..
