Trying to feed a Copper band butterfly

[itsamyheff]

I picked up a cbb to take care of some aptasia. He has done his job and now it was on to trying to get him to eat prep food. I had tried several different foods and found one he liked today. I added some red seaweed for a newly added tang and to my shock, the cbb took to it like it was birthday cake. I thought it was odd and thought I would share.

Have you tried live black worms?

 

[itsamyheff]

I haven't found them on this side of town. Live brine is all I have tried.

Edit: I have a huge variety of frozen foods that I have tried. I may try some other vegi diet foods since he takes to nori.

I will have to try the red seaweed . Mine loves PE mysis.

Dylan, did you ever sell the chocolate?

 

[ripped tide]

Nope. I ended up keeping them both. The little one got moved my frag tank for algae control. I kept the big one as the only tang in my 210

I just added my lieutenant tang

I think these two are going to stay here for now. Surprisingly, I recieved a lot of interest in those fish. They are neat and usually under rated.

I love um. I was leaning to a gold rim for a while but they seem to have a bad attitude. I got a gold rim for the wife a couple years ago and after it going after the triggers, he had to go.

Yeah I'm done with tangs. Jerks! The chocolates are peaceful and keep to themselves, so they were allowed to stay.

Don't know if you remember, but he killed the sargasum trigger I got from you when you were working on this side of town.

PE Mysis.

After this post just started, the cbb has not stopped eating. I tried the black worms and no luck. Tried the mysis with no luck. Since he was eating the red seaweed, I decided to mix the seaweed with mysis, black worms, krill, and a couple others and he went nuts over it. He even gets up there and beats the triggers out of there food at times.
