Copperband feeding

I got a copperband a little over 3 weeks ago. He has eaten mysis within an hour of introduction. He has started to fatten up more. He seems to be doing very well, he goes crazy for mysis   

I just wanted to know if anyone has any ideas of how to get him to accept other kinds of food. I try feeding him clam ima shell & he doesn't even pay attention to it. I would like to get him to eat food such as flakes & pellets.

I know that they are very picky eaters but I just want to see if anyone has any suggestion or experience with them.

Thank you

Fozen mysis or brine shrimp are better and more of a natural food food for the fish

I would not be worried about a fish that did not want to eat dry processed food.

Yesterday I didn't have time to feed my animals so they fasted. Occasional fasting is healthy in several ways, including expelling waste from the body and allowing the tanks biofiltration to "catch up".

Assuming a fish is picking at food growing in the tank, why not feed the tank the things that make natural foods grow better/faster? Feeding planktonic foods like algae paste and pulverized frozen foods makes all kinds of bugs, tiny polyps and algae grow which in turn feeds the larger animals. Just a thought.

P.S. One of the two anemones has healed nicely and can go home. The other is healing more slowly and needs to stay a little longer.

I try that today, he took some pieces but spit out most of it.
