Day 2 with the new one and it is very much inspecting the rocks now and starting to pick. The 3rd one we had never came out of the corner and never looked at the rocks, so this is progress!

Eating yet?Day 2 with the new one and it is very much inspecting the rocks now and starting to pick. The 3rd one we had never came out of the corner and never looked at the rocks, so this is progress!
Hasn't yet, gonna do the morning feed soon though. I think it's tried an aiptasia already though!Eating yet?
Have you tried easy masstick? That's how I've gotten finickier rock picking fish to eat in the past.Hasn't yet, gonna do the morning feed soon though. I think it's tried an aiptasia already though!
These are just so hit or miss. Sorry for your loss!I lost mine today after a year seemingly out of nowhere :[
Wishing you the best luck!
I won't get too ahead of myself with CBB being notorious for dying out of nowhere, but this one is definitely the best of the 4. Great recommendations from everyone who said go with a different supplier. It helped to be able to see this one actually eat frozen before we bought it.Your fish looks healthy, it's amazing how excited we can be when our new fish starts eating 'something', man we know that feeling, good luck and I'm glad your fish started on frozen food.
No idea on nutrition, but mine loves them, and I keep some in a refuge just to give him some variety. Love watching him tear into even the largest ones.I was wondering, do aiptasia provide any nutritional value to copperbands? I've searched and can't find anything. Either way it's mowing through the small and medium ones, but there's a ton of them now. Some really big ones also.
Very happy it's eating frozen also though. Very glad I listened to you guys!
That's a beautiful fish, congratulations, I'll try to find some information on aiptasia nutrition on CBB.Guys I think I have to recommend @NYAquatic if you want a copperband. Ours is eating frozen like crazy, and taking it away from our orange shoulder tang. It occasionally chases the yellow longnose off. Still have a ton of aiptasia, but it is eating them as well. Never had any of the previous ones eat this aggressively. Extremely happy with this fish shop!
