Did your Copperband eat bloodworms right from the start? That's one food I can't get mine to eat. I tried all my feeding tricks with him, but he just spits it and holds out for his favorites, freeze dried mysis and plankton.

Also, have tried soaking the mysis and plankton in selcon, and tried garlic too, but he won't go for that either, spits them out then. So he is still pretty fussy about what he eats.

Have had him for almost a year and half now, and seems healthy and happy. Spends most of the time hunting and pecking in the rocks, although doubt that he finds much, but keeps him busy. At early dawn, and late dusk, he really goes at it. Not sure when he sleeps.....

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.
