What to feed CBB

[Greg B]

I have a CBB he's or she's eating I think looks thin feeding it frozen mysis shrimp all my fish love it lol so what's some other things that will be good to fatten it up and how much give it and how often?

Live blackworms, live brine - they'll elicit a feeding response like crazy.

Also try clam on a half shell which is frozen.

I cannot stress the live options enough to get the appetite more healthy

 

[Greg B]

It seems to have a good appetite maybe I just need to give it more

If it's eating well, soaking frozen foods in fatty acids will help put weight on cbb.

Try raw shrimp, cut in 1/8in pieces. Mine loves the stuff

 

[Greg B]

What kind of fatty acids?

 

[miyags]

Selcon is one, but there a few brands that make omega 3 fatty acids. I'm currently using Brightwell AminOmega.

Oh ok! Butterflies do present a challenge when feeding. Here is the selcon, I use it.
