I picked up a Copperband Butterfly last weekend at Northside. I have been wanting one for a while to help get rid of some of the Aptasia I can't reach. Scott fed him and he ate Mysis shrimp with vigor however he is not eating as agressively in qt and from everything I have read they love live blackworms. Anyone know of any where locally I can get some? I am going to pick up some clams and mussels for him. I have never bought fresh seafood before so if there is any extra precautions I should take, feed cooked or raw, or best kind of clams or mussels to get just chime in.
i also got one a couple of months back and he was eating mysis good but for some reason he just quit eating after two weeks and passed. mine would eat bloodworms as well so if you cant get blackworms you may try them.
I have some of those I just haven't tried them yet. He is eating, just not as much and as agressively as I would like to see him eating. I got all kind of different food for him. Made a trip to Walmart and Krogers today and was going to get some clams or mussels but they don't carry them. Surely we have a fish market around here some where I can find some at.
You want to feed raw seafood. Also, make sure you remove uneaten food so it doesn't foul the tank (or stink).
