Live Brine Shrimp

[foggy54]

If anyone plans to come to the meeting via The Critter, I sure would appreciate it if they brought me 2 scoops of live brine shrimp. Bought a copperband the otherday and haven't seen him eat anything yet, any other sugestions. Tried flake, frozen varity pack? He could be eating but not while I'm watching. Thanks

Try frozen mysis shrimp. It will usually get picky eaters to eat. Copperbands are sometimes pretty hard to get to eat.

Frozen Blood worms are usually eaten by fish that will not eat.

You are right, the copperband I used to have loved bloodworms.

Both good suggestions above. If you can get live clams or mussels somewhere in Clarksville those will work sometimes when nothing else will. Just open the bivalve and place it in the tank.

Great! Copperbands are one of my favorite fish. Too bad it is hard to find one healthy and eating.
