![]() Interesting, then why my copperband don't want to eat the pacifica plankton? he just spit them out and does not touch it after that, but he does heat the PE mysis.
BTW, Acans and dendro will eat anything...so they are not really a reference here. just curious to see where you got your info on the nutritional profile of them? Here is what I found: PE Mysis protein - 69.5% fat 8.35% Fiber 2.75% EPA 15.09% total Fatty Acid DHA 10.59% total Fatty Acid Hikari Mysis protein - 70% fat 6.7% fiber 13% SFB Mysis Protein 46% Fat 5.5% Fiber 3.7% SFB Krill: protein 75% Fat 28% Fiber 8% Argent Labs Dried Krill Protein 71 % Fat 10.9% Carbohydrates 8.7% *This one includes HUFA analysis, its the percent of all fat, not all matter* HUFA’s 40.8% EPA 18.4% DHA 11.1% Hikari Plankton (I believe it Euphausia pacifica, a type of krill) Protein: 57% Fat: 7% fiber 16% Quote:

![]() Hi,

Second; Since you have had it a while it has been trained to eat PE mysis. By wild fish I meant fishes that have recently been imported. ie less than 3 weeks from time of capture on the reef. Quote:

![]() Tim what country does the product come from and where is it packaged?
I note that many Hikari products (used to be a quality name in the fish food industry) now come from China which makes all of the ingredients suspect. |

![]() Ya, I noticed that too, and recently quit buying Hikari.

![]() The plankton is captured in BC ocean waters near Northern Vancouver Island. I process it myself locally. Thus the product is a 100% Local product from start to finish.

But have not been able to get him to eat any type of worms. Have tried to get him on frozen (and freeze dried) bloodworms. However, he just spits them out after sampling them.

![]() Since your Copperband is already eating Mysis, Plankton and the fresh clam you are giving it a good source of nutrition. I would not be overly concerned that it is not eating bloodworms. I could be that the fresh clams and Mysis and Plankton taste better to the fish than the bloodworms.
The main concern is for newly arrived fish that are not eating at all. Then I would offer them frozen bloodworms or live if available. Once the fish starts to eat in captivity it can be eventually trained to accept other foods. |
