Copper Banded butterfly Does anyone have an opinion on these?

Thanks Paul, good news I offered the Butterfly some live brine and he accepted so now I have to get him to frozen.

I've also heard of them liking the little live clams that you can get at the grocery store.

Ok if im feeding live brine for now, is there a way to add supplements to them? I did not purchase any yet.

Here is the little guy again alive and well, eating like a champ.

They are very crypt prone. Gotta QT them and be ready to treat appropriately.

you can supplement the brine with vita-chem soaked food, drop the live like you would the frozen. It's all about association with fish, every once in awhile drop something frozen, mysis, rod's along with the brine. It would also help if it is at the same time ie. first in the morning, and roughly the same place. If I may suggest doing it in QT, it's less competitive there. But it can be done in DT but it takes longer with more effort if the other fish are nabbing association food before he sees it. There are also studies of tapping on the top before delivery than the fish associate the tap with food and grab it before they know what it is. It's very similar to Pavlov.

Thanks for the info.

My CBB has a new friend. This has got to be my favorite fish. This is the best one I have found in years.
