Hi again, I tried putting in a half shell of saltwater mussel shell that i collected from the waterfront five minutes walk from where i live, The copperband seemed to show some interest in it, when you said about trying a fresswater clam did you mean a mussel? Im not to sure what you mean by a freshwater clam ,maybe they are one and the same?He still is very wary of any movement and hides as soon as i walk up to the tank.Do you think he will start to appear more as time goes by? All i have in the way of other fish are some blennies i collected down at the foreshore , also i have some hermit crabs ,these blennies are great for any algae that gets away, i was watching these guys go for it like lawn mowers , I think maybe this copperband likes to eat once the lights go out? Anyway thanks for you help, Ill keep you posted on his progress, Thanks again , Blue Tang.
