Here's what LiveAquaria says_"The Copperband Butterflyfish is a difficult fish to feed; it is a shy and deliberate feeder that may need a variety of foods offered to it in order to start feeding. " I was hopeful someone had some "hand's on" experience and could lead me in the right direction.My Copperband is a Hearty eater,just wanted to add the "variety" part.
