sorry to bring up an old thread - do you still j ave the quoyis? have the opportunity to get one and threads like this are kinda scaring me away.
I am by no means an expert, however, I have had longterm success with my copperband and was able to get him eating absolutely nothing, to eating live, to completely frozen in a few months. was also able to get my mandarin dragonet eating frozen. time and patience for sure but im willing to do whatever it takes. just not sure its worth it if nobody has ever really been able to keep them long term.
