Copperband eating ;)

[cbbram]

I hope not to jinx it but I just bought a Copperband butterfly online @ BlueZoo aquatics Saturday and it started eating mysis and brine shrimp today. It only ate a total of 5 shrimp but it's a start. I hope it keeps it up and I can make it fat!!!

That's great. Making attempts to eat is a good sign. I've had good luck with mysis and small pellets with my copperband.

Pellets! Wow... been trying NLS pellets... no interest yet but gonna keep on it.

GL with pellets... it's awesome to those that have been successful, but I think it's just total luck. Try long finely minced seafoods.... the long shape (worm like) IME is a big temptation.

Maybe soaking the food in garlic will help him eat more.. Congrats, ive had 2 die on me n only ate blood worms for a while

I have been thanks. This CB is real brave and curious and nearly eating out of my hand. Just hope it keeps progressing. I'm gonna try every day till it gets tired of seeing pellets though... lol. For now it's mysis and brine soaked in garlic. Gonna maybe try some other food as suggested here. Thanks for the input...
