Copperband Food and J&L

PE mysis. He use to eat a little bit of it here and there when very very hungry, but not any more.

And he likes the Omega One freeze dried mysis.

I have never tried white worms (not sure if they are available in the Vancouver area), but would be interesting if my Copperband would take those. That might be a way to get him used to selcon, if I feed the white worms selcon and garlic.

I feed the worms with bread soaked in a bit of milk and about 10 drops of Selcon per slice of bread. I don't think it does much to soak the worms in Selcon after that. I don't see the use of garlic being relevant here. I don't think there would be anything usefull left form the garlic if the worms would actualy eat it, and they would not absorb the garlic if soaked into it as they only absorb stuff when they eat.

You might want to try some of the Ocean Fresh Pacifica Plankton.

I have had lots of copperbands eat it as well as Moorish Idols etc.

Here is the link.

I assume you only sell that in frozen? It's the freeze dried plankton that I am looking for. So far, the Copperband only likes the San Fransisco Brand freeze dried plankton. It says Product of Canada, but not sure where exactly it comes from.
