Since the video of my tangs went down so well and I was asked how my Copperband managed to feed with such strong competition from the tangs

Here is a video showing just how good he really is.


Hope you like :) you guys have been brilliant btw.

He does look great! I've never had a cbb but I have other expert level fish that are tough to feed- but I hear cbb can be the worst of all.

I have 2 Achilles tangs, a moorish idol, a Red Sea regal angel, and 9 leopard wrasses in total of 5 different species that are thriving. I would like to think I found handle cbb but I don't have anywhere to put one honestly!

Love it. My copperband was trained on frozen in the fish inteoduction tank as well as on Aptasias and featherdusters. It finished and infestation of feather dusters and Aptasia and lost some weight reverting back to frozen... It still eats frozen but rather slow and picky so i make sure to hand feed as its the first to come for a handfeeding. Amazing fish .

That's a very "manly" CBB. ;) Mine is more of a sissy. I'll have to post a video of him swimming into my net to eat blackworms.

My Copperband is such a slow feeder I feed him at night after the wrasses have all gone to bed.

What are you feeding him? Mine will only eat live blackworms, but at least he goes after them with gusto. Congrats on a CBB that eats frozen. They are one of my very favorite fish.

He eats a mixture of frozen mysis and lobster eggs
