I wanted to make this thread to confirm this with you guys.
I purchased my copperband from the LFS. He was eating mysis and frozen foods, and even ate them in my QT tank.
Ever since I started feeding live blackworms, my copperband refuses to eat anything else.
I’m fine with feeding blackworms. The “problems” is that I’m worried these foods are not completely nutritious. Especially since they are a freshwater worm with less fat and protein than the whiteworms.
My copperband voraciously eats the worms from the water column. I will attempt to take a video for your entertainment, but…is this fish going to last long term if blackworms is all he eats?
PS: I have 2 deresa clams (tridacna) and the copperband doesn’t touch either of them. I feed LRS (which contains clams) but the copperband won’t touch them either. He exclusively lives off worms.
