Hi guys not sure if this is the right forum for this thread.
Ive had a copper-band for about 2 months now. i was quite scrutinous about the one i chose but once i brought him home he refused to eat anything i offered. Well 2 months in hes looking pretty thin.. like ill be surprised if he lives another week thin. Anyways i have been feeding him mussels for the past few weeks but the minute i put them in all my other fish and inverts go wild and he barley gets a look in so that's "sustained" him till now. this last week i figured out that he will eat frozen mysis if and only IF i leave the power-heads on and he has to chase it a little but i still have the problem of the other fish getting more than I would like and him only getting a few bits. Does anyone have any inventive ideas on feeding him or any methods i could try. Ive tried distracting the other fish a while but that doesn't last long. This ultimately is leading to my overfeeding (and cyno) which is mentioned in another thread. I wouldn't like to qt him now i think the stress from the move would kill him.
Just after some ideas for isolated feeding
