food fit for a copperband

pennpal · 08-28-2002, 10:32 PM

Intoduced a copperband butterfly to my tank. Gets along well with its tank mates, has great color, nibbles at the liverock but doesn't seem interested in any of the food offerings. Tried flake foods and brine shrimp with no luck. I have plenty of vegetation growing but I'm not sure what they like to be feed. Any suggestions?

I had a copperband that loved frozen brine (I say loved, it definitely ate it's share). Perhaps try to soak it in some garlic to get it's attention?

Just a thought,
Scott Z.
