I feed my copperband butterfly live black worms 3-4 times daily. He will not take anything else but I have tried everything possible. He loves black worms though and is extremely fat and happy.

I still have no idea what black worms are. What about blood works

Black worms are different, CBB's love them but not every LFS will carry them

None of mine have them, I've looked hard. I should request them then.

Blackworms are small, live worms. They are a freshwater worm that you can find at fish stores catering to freshwater fish if your saltwater lfs doesn't carry them.

What is sold as bloodworm in the fish food industry frequently is insect larvae and not a worm. This is no good for your cbb and it probably won't eat them.

True blood worms from a bait store are ok and your cbb might eat them.

Your cbb should like fresh seafood from the grocery store chopped up and frozen. Shrimp, scallop, fish, clam, etc. Buy a small amount, chop it up, freeze, and slice off some small pieces and feed.
