HELP! Copperband Butterfly going hungry!

[RedDevil.258]

Well after a hard decision I finally found a CBB that look healthy and showed interest in some prepared foods. All during the QT he was finiky eater but still it looked promising. Now I really don't want him to waste away in the DT. What are some methods of getting him to accept some nom nom...LOL

Thanks!

Mine eats live blackworms, soaked in Selcon & Vita-Chem.

I actually recently found the frozen hikari spirulina cubes is like fishy fish crack. They go crazier for that stuff than the rods food. If your copperband doesn't go after this stuff I'm not sure what it will go after.

where do you get your live BW's? I have heard real good things about the BW's. Something about the saltwater makes them wiggle more..

Petsmart or any other Lps that sells frozen hikari foods.

My anthias wanted nothing to do with pellets, but they would eat Rod's so i kept mixing the two and now they eat them without frozen....
