Yes, I can see that. I did mine in the quarantine tank (refugium) where they were not intimidated by other fish. I wanted to get them eating other foods before moving to the display tank. Copperbands are very timid fish, so they need as much of a head start as you can give them with eating.

However, once eating dry food, and from the surface, my Copperband was able to fend for himself quite well even with a very active and voracious feeder, my Green Bird Wrasse. I had them both together for a while in my refugium, before I sold them.
