I bought a Copperband about 10 days ago. I need him for an aiptasia problem. I asked my LFS and they said the Copperband was eating frozen brine ten minutes before I arrived. So I didn't personally see him eat (mistake). He was actively swimming and looking for food. I brought him home and put him in a QT tank. He didn't eat for the first few days, but I figured he was still acclimating. A few days later I realised the Copperband had not only ich, but black ich as well. I know they typically don't eat while stressed. I dropped in a filter pad from my DT because it had tons of Copepods on it, he was devouring them, until he at them all, then I tried frozen brine, live brine, and cyclops, I used garlic too. I don't think he's eating anything anymore. I heard they like blackworms, but I'm unable to get them due to my location. The Copperband's really skinny and not eating at all, is there anything I can do to save him/get him eating?
