three days i introduced copper band butterfly....i gave her mysis shrimp, calanus, rotifiers and Artemia......she also grazes live rocks......pls advise which food is good for her?......she eats these foods but not like my other fishes eat....
 
Live black worms! I started mine out on blackworms and clam on a half shell rubber banned to a rock, Now I have him eating bloodworms(because they look similar to blackworms I guess lol), Mine hasn't really eatin mysis or brine yet.If you want it to eat a lot then throw some blackworms in there and he will go nuts!
 
Btw what's weird is mine will only eat the blood worms that come in omega one predator blend, He will not touch the San Francisco Bay brand I picked up at petco, Very picky fish lol but if you have him eating anything then your doing great.
 
Any update on your butterfly? Hope he's doing well, Mine started eating mysis like crazy today, A good thing to do is make a feeder using a pvc cap and drill holes In it so when you put the food in it only the copperband can get to it, They love searching for food it's more natural for them.
 
Well mine one is eating mysis shrimps and eating something from rocks. I will try clams n black worms
