Interesting thread. I have yet to get my copperband to eat pellets but look forward to the day where he might.

I have a question regarding the clams though, once they start on the clams are they still as interested in the mysis or even pellets at that point?

My CBB would eat only clams and mussels for months before he finally tried mysis. Now he will eat most meaty foods, but will not touch flakes or pellets. And yes he still loves his clams.

Mine was eating mysis before and yes, still ran them down when I fed. All my fish have always ate the Ocean Nutrition formula one small pellets and I was surprised by the copperband picking some up from the bottom. I dont believe it was a favourite food though.

Mine eats Mysis Shrimp and any Aptasia I can scrounge up for him.

Any body try feeding Glassworms? I bought a pack but when I got home I noticed it didn't say for fresh and salt like the other stuff I bought. Only "freshwater". I'm kind of afraid to add it to my mix untill I know it is ok.

I put a cube in the tank and the copperband ate them, yet he will not touch Brine at all
