Insatiable Copperband

[LBC]

should i be worried this fish hogs everything i put in my tank from spirulina flakes to live adult brine shrimp and everything inbetween, this bfly just attacks and eats everything dead or alive.. makes me think she has worms or something she is such a hearty eater tho she's not fat or anything

Great!!!! Traditionally a hard fish to get to eat , or to keep eating. Best of luck!!! Don't overfeed or you'll turn it off to frozen/flake.

Healthy copperbands are very large eaters. The one I now have is by far my biggest eater and got larger than I would like. As long as he has been in your tank more than a few weeks old that is not a problem. A small portion of them that were collected with cyanide eat like that, then die.

Here is a video of mine eating some worms.
