Hi All,
I have a juvenile Copperband in my tank. He's been with me, across 2 tanks, for about 4 or 5 weeks. He is constantly picking at the sand and the rock, I mean all of the time. My tank is very mature, running for around 10 years and in its current configuration for 2+. The rock and the sand are old, I have lots of worms, tube worms, pods, brittle stars, etc.
I'm trying to get the little bugger eating prepared foods, but as usual with these fish its harder than it seems. I have tried frozen blood worms, frozen clam half shells, fresh mussels, pellets, frozen brine, no love.
i'm keen to keep trying things to feed him but this thread is not about getting him to eat my food, this thread is a discussion on what it is he'd be finding around the tank to eat and whether it is likely sufficient for his nutrition.
What is it he's eating in the tank?
Thanks,
Christian
