Hi,
I got myself a very nice Copperband and I know that it is difficult to keep one due to not eating in captive issue. But still I couldn't resist not buying this guy specially that am having many small size apatisia in my tank. So it is like nice addition to my 125g tank + getting rid of the apatisia at the same time. Am trying to feed him different kind of food but no success so far. I have some shellfish in my freezer and am planning to get one, cut into small pieces, mixed it with mysis shrimp, soak them in garlic for 30min and serve him tonight. I hope this will help.
It is now in my QT for two days. But I read in one post that there is no need to QT a copperband and I was wondering how accurate is this? because my QT might be small for him and cause him to be more stressed.
One more thing, shall I put him in a breeding net once introduced to my DT or no need for this. I don't have aggressive fish that might bully him, but I would like to do this to new comers.
========
It is always nice to believe that am a fish too .. For at least an hour each time
