Food for Copperband Butterfly

Hrm... I wish mine would take to frozen foods... so far it only eats gut-loaded brine or red tubifex... both bring out a feeding frenzy, but it just looks at frozen/processed foods like they're an alien object.
If yours is eating all you mention then I wouldn't worry about adding anything else to its diet... except something live...

thanks...glad to hear mine is doing well!

I use my home made "mush" to feed my copperband along with frozen mysis shrimp as well.

Frozen mush consist of raw shrimp, clams, scallops, raw fish, nori and etc. and I grind it all up with some salt water and flatten it out in a freezer bag and freeze it and break off a chunk and feed the tank and the copperband loves it!

The way I got the copperband to eat it was not feed the tank for 3-4 days and then dropped in the mush first and the copperband had no problems eating it as I am sure it was hungry!

I just lost my Copperband, after about 8 months. I never saw him eat anything that I dropped in the tank. He took care of all the aptasia, and was constantly picking at the lr, but never any prepared foods. I feed approx 6 different frozen varieties, and at least that many dry/flake. I was sick when I lost him, I really think that he starved. He looked good even post mortum. I will have to try Johnnies mush next time. I need some time to mourn !

We feed our copperband homemade mush and mysis. As long as he's eating frozen I wouldn't tempt him with live foods. Try making some seafood mush. All your fish will love it.
