Hi, I bought a long nose butterfly for my 300 and the LFS had it feeding frozen, they fed it in front of me obviously.
Now, he’s exhibiting natural feeding behaviours, grazing on rocks and picking his nose in to find food but he won’t accept any frozen, he’s just swimming by it occasionally he’ll take a shrimp in his mouth and mush it up then spit it back out.
just wondering if anyone has any methods for allowing him to feed naturally off the frozen, I was thinking holding the mysis inside a turkey bsster so he can get his mouth in like a rock and take what he needs but it tends to eventually all just start spilling out.
Any DIY methods that mimic this behaviour? Pushing food into rocks? I saw a contraption someone made that was basically a plastic feeder with holes they would place shrimp in and allow the long nose to just pick what he wants throughout the day. Not sure how to make one of those
