Copperband no longer eating

[toytech]

Im 0-3 on these fish and wont try again , between the poor eating habits , parasites , and bacteria infections its just too hard .

Mine is healthy and happy going on a year, once established they are quite hardy...maybe it's not the fish but the fish keeper...just kidding.

Its the establishing that's hard , ive seen tons in stores and most are thin , uninterested in picking at rock , and have bacterial infections starting . They just don't transport well.

I Agree

I think I should raised some and train them to eat aiptasia then sell them after they are seattled and eating. Anybody interested? What would be a good price for a trained aiptasia, clam, shrimp eating CB?

If you could get mine to start eating again that would be great


Put a fresh clam in the tank today for a while. No interest. Will try black worms tomorrow.

Black worm or Blood worm will for sure will encourage him to eat.

No luck with live black worms. Showed no interest at all. Still no obvious signs of any illness.
