problem getting pearlscale butterfly to take other foods

[Das awesome]

I've had my pearlscale butterfly about 3 months now and it is extremely fat and happy, but it only eats live blackworms and brine shrimp. All the other foods I try to feed it, mysis shrimp and a butterfly/angelfish formula, it just looks at them and chases them as they're blown in the current, but doesn't eat them. How can I get it to eat other foods cuz I know brine shrimp isn't very nutritional and I want to supply it with a varied diet.

Put frozen mysis shrimp in with the brine, a little at first and then increase the amount of mysis and reduce the amount of brine. It should convert to eating the mysis.

Have you tried chopped seafood from the grocery store (shrimp, scallop, fish, clam)? Chop it up, freeze it, and scrape off small bits to feed.

I've tried clam on a half shell and it just started eating it, but my puffer takes majority of it. I've tried the pieces of seafood before for my puffer, but the butterfly just looks at it.
