copperband help

[Broly_PT]

Hello friends,

I need your advice,

They offered me a copperband last week.

At this moment in the QT that I only put to work when I have new fish.

The fish has already been a week and I have not seen it eat, I've tried all the food and nothing.

He is fat and very calm.

My question is, do I put the fish in the DT already in an attempt to eat something from the rock or keep it in the QT?

regards

Copperbands can be difficult to get started ... I've only ever had one, which would _only_ eat brine shrimp while in my care, and never enough to keep it alive.

Some things you can try: Littleneck clam on the half-shell. Frozen littleneck clam, shredded. Live blackworms. Live brine shrimp.

How long has the fish been in captivity? Would it _ever_ be worth the risk to your display to introduce an unquarantined fish?
