Help with Copperband.

Hi I have got a Copperband butterfly, but he doesnt eats anything I give it. Have tried frozen bloodworms, frozen artemia and clams.
Have ordered some frozen mysis and masstick which is on the way and will be trying those soon. Sadly where I live I do not have access to live bloodworms only ABW(freeze dried)
