    It often takes Copperbands a while before they will eat food out of the water column. I would try to "stuff" some food into a crevice or hole in a rock that it likes to pick at, this will help it to sample and catch on to aquarium foods. Good luck.

    It would most likely be much more apt to eat the foods once they settled onto the substrate or rocks since this is how they feed in the wild. Do you have any feather dusters in your tank? Copperbands usually gobble those things up.

    Hah I figured an easier way then shoving Mysis in the rocks would to be to use this grazing nori clip i have, lol However appearently the holes where a tad to big and it let the mysis all out.. :( holes the forumal one amazing though!

    Oddly enough though, Mushu comes up to the clip and picks the left over mysis that didnt get away. So he is eating. And he pulled a few pieces of the rockwork from the mysys storm I had created. :D
