Masstick is really good with frozen mysis shrimp mixed in stuck to a rock, mine has never eaten pellets, PE mysis is the best food I have found.

Yeah mine didnt touch Masstick weirdly

Thanks for sharing, useful info. Would like to try a copperband one day but with a fairly aggressive coral beauty and a Marshall island wrasse that pretty much hogs any feeding time I wouldn’t want to risk it.

Hi Anthony, they are fragile fish for sure!

[@DigitalCorals]

Great video , 🚀🚀🚀

Thanks Tony

Another nice video Steve 👌🏼 such a nice fish, seems the more effort you put in at the beginning with regards to feeding the better chance of success your have, hope your one continues to do well ☺️

Thanks Dan, I was gutted because this copperband got in a fight with my sailfin and foxface and died the other day :-(

[@DansReef]

@ Arrrh no! 🥲 that's a real shame 😞 Must admit when I had my sailfin, silver spot tang and regal the sailfin was not kind to any new fish he was definitely the boss of the tank. Maybe try again when you move & get your bigger tank your probably have no issues then ☺️

Thanks so much! Been thinking of getting a copperband for such a long time and almost did so at the weekend - unfortunately the ones in my LFS had just come in so were not yet eating. This vid will be a great help once I finally take the plunge! Any advice on choosing one from the store?

[@theeastcoastreefer]

That was how this one was, fresh in and not eating. Id say look for one that is inquisitive and out swimming, not hiding or showing antisocial traits. check it pushes its self forward for food the second it comes in.

How is that copperband doing Steve? 🤔

[@theeastcoastreefer]

Unfortunately this is the one that didn't make it, I did debate if I should release this video or not, but as it didn't die because of lack of eating and the stuff in the video did work I decided to keep it live.

[@ReefRondo]

@ totally agree. Glad you posted it.

[@NorfolkReefer]

Another great video! Tempted after your success to do the same!!

[@theeastcoastreefer]

it was a bit of a faff but rewarding to get to the point of feeding so well on frozen.

[@NorfolkReefer]

@ more experience for next time 🤞👌
