CBB Alive for 2 Weeks w/out Eating

[FSOL]

I bought my copperband butterfly 2 weeks ago and it has NEVER come out to eat when i throw food in the tank. It won't even eat algae sheets.
Yet it's alive and doing great all this time. It's not thin, hasn't lost weight, and is always picking on rocks. I have no clue how this is working and what it's eating, because the tank is only a month old and doesn't have much to offer as far as algae or pods.

It is eating something. Maybe pods, duster worms or some other type of microfauna. Get used to them not eating prepared. Some never do.

I have had one for 2 months that I have never seen eat prepared foods. It always has a full little belly. You just have to be careful about killing your pods, worms, etc. populations with chemicals or high nitrates/phosphates. If you do kill them, then the CBB will starve.
