Copperband Butterfly not Eating HELP!

[odigo90]

I have a medium size Copperband butterfly in quarantine tank. He is not eating frozen brine shrimp almost 2 days... If anyone has live brine shrimp, please let me know. Pm, or text 3477127217. Can pick up anytime locally. Thank you for your help.

Try black worms.

Try calling local Petland stores, some of them have them in stock, usually they get them Tuesday's and Fridays, I think. If no luck get live black worms there.
Good luck.

I've tried every local pet shop, they don't have anything live. All frozen...

was he eating in the store and just stopped eating or did you buy him not eating?

Bought some clams, but he doesn't eat them. Black worms worked!

I didn't see him eat in store.. In quarantine tank ate nothing for 3 days(Probably picked stuff from live rock), now he is eating black worms from peatland. Have to find a way to switch to frozen...
