Live Bloodworms?

I am not sure about blood worms but Aqualand has live black worms. I just bought some last night.

I am using a Kemps Sea Squirt to feed my Copperband Butterflyfish black worms. The prong sticks out far enough that I can prop it in my tank and let the worms come out naturally for him to peck at. I lean it against one of his favorite rocks he likes to peck at. He is not confident about eating them out of the water column yet, but he will get a couple that way so it is a start. Good luck feeding yours!

 

Glad yours liked the worms, mine did too but he is not as hungry today, I am assuming it is because he ate like a pig yesterday. Good luck on the lymphocytes I read adding a supplement to the food source can help build their immune system. I bought Selcon to try out because I read it was good to soak the black worms in it and that the fish get more nutrition and are more apt to eat.

 

I should try Mysis, so far mine only likes live black worms. I tried soaking them in Selcon but he prefers them with out. He is pretty small though so I am thinking as he gets larger he may take different food. Glad yours is eating and getting healthy again!

 

A while back I saw people getting longnose/copperband butterflies eating with a short piece of pvc with holes drilled all over and the ends capped. Good luck.
