What to feed while in Cupramine treatment?

[gary faulkner]

I have some finicky eaters in cupramine treatment. Will newly hatched brine shrimp live for a wile in copper? If not how can I get finicky eaters to eat. Yellow Longnose Butterfly? Schooling Bannerfish?

TIA

Brine shrimp should live long enough for the fish to eat ... just use common sense on how much you put in the tank at any one time. Syphon out an uneatend food or fish debris about a 1/2 hr after feeding .. will help maintain water quality.

:hmm3: :idea: If all else fails, i can stop by and hold them down while you force feed them.:jester: I started cupramine treatment today, you may have to do the same for me in a few days :lmao: All joking aside. Good luck with the finicky eaters. Please let me know if you find anything that entices them, I'll probably need to know!!

I have actually lowered the level of copper in the QT and I'm going to wait and get the fish eating before I raise it back up.

Tried newly hatched brine yesterday with no luck. Going to Grahams Reef (GR) today and get some black worms and some adult brine if Jon has any left, that is.
