[jerl77]

really why does that work?

I had the same problem... I did paste couple of YT pics around the tank and did solve the problem

 

[nanchil]

Not sure ... But the YT was more focusing on other YT pics...

lol it distracts them cause theyll spend all there time fighting there reflection.

 

[jerl77]

[jerl77]

I don't keep records and I really don't remember but I am sure they live three years or so. That is not so great.

i personally have tried multiple copperbands and most of them eat and them die out of no where.(none picked at my coral or clams)

it is an extremely hard fish to keep, i find leaving the lights off with just a few blue leds on helps fish acclimate to your tank with out being harassed by other fish.

+1

in spite of how well they eat?

Depends if this fish likes the other foods available

Look at it this way if I was in a tank and you feed me all the steak I could eat I wouldn't touch the Turkey not that I don't eat Turkey I rather eat steak. Same with fish my CB love PE Mysis he doesn't eat corals but don't ask me to stop the mysis.
You just got to find what your fish like and make sure they get it every day.

It's not good to eat too much red meat :tongue1:

I use to had a CB few months ago. He did a really good job cleaning feather duster & eat mysis very well. But after he clean out all the feather duster he start picking on my scolys. I didn't realized it after two of my best scolys died so just keep an eyes on your CB after he clean out all the duster.

In my tank they always get some live worms every day along with other things. If they don't eat, I don't buy them

I think stay alive is the hardest part. Ive never had a copperband not eat, same result tho death. Longest kept alive something like a 3 months estimate.

Hope yours does better than any of mine

me too :irked:
