hi everyone.. i am just curious to know what everyone here is feeding their copperbands and how they perform in a FOWLR tank established for about two months now. i love this fish and am interested in purchasing one.
i realize they eat worms, algae and other life of the rocks. however, i am uncertain if my rocks are adequate for this fish. what are my alternatives in terms of feeding the copperband? currently, i am feeding the fish i already have flakes and the frozen veggie cubes.
i also would like to know how they would thrive in a tank that contains other fish similar to it. below i have included an updated list of fish that are in my tank at the moment.
any other advice on maintaining the well being of this fish would be most welcomed. thanks AC. (^_^)
specs:
150gal oceanic tank
cpr 200gal capable wet dry w/ built in protein skimmer
2 powerheads
91lbs of live rock
crushed coral substrate
levels are all stable at optimal levels
fish:
1 yellow tang
1 raccoon butterfly
1 blue face angel
1 flame angel
2 percula clowns
10 domino/striped damsels (i will be removing 7 of these next week)
inverts:
2 sand sifter stars
1 brittle star
1 serpent star
2 emerald crabs
1 arrow crab
1 horseshoe crab
3 peppermint shrimp
ill take pics soon.. i meant to show all of you the rewards of all of yr help. thanks again.
