    Quick ? anyone got a good basic line of foods to use? I have to different tanks...my nano just has a clown goby and scooter blenny but my 90 gallon mostly consists of tangs, a puffer, 2 clownfish, firefish, diamond goby, and a copperband butterfly plus CUC.....i was just wondering what other people are using.

    2 months is a pretty good run with one of those. You must of got it trained to eat something. Iv always wanted to try one but I know mine would insist on eating my coral then starve to death when it ran out.

    But anyway I feed brine mysys frozen a dry brine and pellits with garlic in them. Oh and dry sea weed for the veggie eaters.

    Why is that? Copperbands don't eat corals ;)

    I feed mysis, brine, 3 different algae sheets, spirulina, broccoli, and a home made food that has squid, clam, scallop, shrimp, and a little broccoli. Fortify all foods with garlic, selcon, and vitamins.

    well since this is my second one...i dont think they are really that hard to keep honestly but that is just me...the first i had ate like a hog and the same goes for this second one but the frist one I had I just neglected to feed unfortunately but the one i got now loves to feed on mysis, brine, & even bloodworms....not sure if it eats any of the marine cuisine or emerald entree..hopefully when he gets a lil bigger he'll take care of the aiptasia I have cause the last one took care of that problem real quick. If u do decide to get one...see if your LFS will feed it in the tank and see if it eats...btw I've never had trouble w/ my copperband nipping or eating coral
