How I converted my Copperbands to dry food

[Delphinus]

Interesting to see both of them after the dry food although if it's dried mysis maybe that has an edge over things like flake and pellets. Still neat idea though. What is the capsule, is that an old film canister?

You could try making an obstacle/divider system that has holes only big enough for the smaller one to get through. Lots of times I have had fish with aggression issues that settled down over time. It is possible that they could become compatible with each other, as long as the smaller one has a safe place of refuge.

Yeah, I never thought of that. It would be pretty easy to cut out a small corner of the egg crate. The smaller one is only maybe an inch or less smaller, so might be hard to get the right hole size, though. However, I now have the bigger one in my large display tank, so it's a moot point now.

Maybe try the cyclopeese flakes and freeze-dried?

Thanks. Not familiar with these, but will look for them next time I visit a fish shop.

nice job, very cool to watch

(I know that Glucometer test strips come in such a container as i see that packaging every day)

It is a medical capsule similar to the old film canisters. I have tried flake and pellets, but so far not successful. I do mix a couple flakes in with the dried mysis and plankton sometimes, and the Copperband has taken it by mistake, but quickly spits it out. Need to find the right flake I guess. Too bad they don't make a mysis flake.
