How I got my copperband eating frozen food (not a guarantee of long term success)

[@ekbanjosworld4926]

Yeah, good luck with that! I starved three before I quit trying! Actually had one eating but a mean ass Yellow Tang killed that one? Go figure?

[@fatttymclad]

Yeah my purple was a bit of an arse. That one has now died for now apart reason but was fat an no signs of bullying or disease. I am moving house this year so will introduce one when I redo the tank

[@andym209]

Awesome job I'm getting one for my 6 foot tank hopefully he will be ok with my moorish idols and reagal tang

[@fatttymclad]

Mine got a bit hassled by my purple tang but I saw no aggression from my regal tang when I added it

[@REEFHUB-Official]

How is your CBB doing today? Good news I hope?

[@fatttymclad]

Hi, unfortunately I found it dead a few weeks ago. No apparent reason, as it was eating well and swimming around well with no signs of disease. I will try again with another as I don't think I did anything wrong, it was just one of those things. I am potentially moving house so not putting anything new in until after that to save on aggression and risk of loosing stuff etc

@@fatttymclad I’m sorry man. I’m fighting the same thing with one right now myself and refuses to eat everything I throw at it.

[@fatttymclad]

Try the paste and brine as it worked really well for me, also if you can get live copepods or brine etc they will happily go through the tank eating that. Also aptasia was good, I had mine for like a year until it died but not sure how old it was and how long they live, but might not have been that

@@fatttymclad yup. Ive already tried blood worms, mastick, brine, and copepods. He certainly goes around eating those all day. He was eating live brine but the last couple days now all he does is spit it back out. I’ve got black worms on order so I went to the LFS today and picked up a bunch of pods so hopefully that’ll hold him over. Dude literally swims though a cloud of brine shrimp and looks at me like where’s my food lol
