Butterfly Behavior and Introducing QT Butterflies to DT Butterflies

[jjk_reef00]

If the aggression is only during feeding time then I think it will be ok.
My dot and dash has also learned to hold out (smart fish). How is your falcula eating? Mine is still hardly eating. The other fish eat 4-5x what he does and he is the largest of the bunch.

Ed,

My falcula eats things it likes pretty aggressively (seafood, Rods, PS mysis) but is a slower eater of other things (Hilarious mysis). It quit eating pellets and flakes and won't touch live blackworms even though all the other butterflies eat them. It seems to prefer larger chunks of food. I feed chopped shrimp/ clam/ scallop/ fish and it eats large chunks aggressively and make no effort to get the small chunks floating around the tank.

Overall, it isn't eating as much as the smaller ulietensis or saddlelback but it eats more than the yln.
