Regal Angel and Copperband Butterfly food question

[youngguns27]

I know I am glutton for punishment but I have both in QT right. Both are in great shape and Copperband was eating mysis at the store and Regal is eating live brine. Now the Copperband that is in QT (with Regal) is only eating live brine as well. How do I switch both to frozen foods. Before you ask my qt is a 50 gallon Rubbermaid Stock tank with a wp25, live rock and bubble Magnus skimmer rated for a 180 (bare bottom of course)

Try adding some frozen brine with the live, slowly reduce how much live brine is involved and eventually you will be just frozen brine, then add mysis the same way

The Mysis might be big (intimidating) for the CB, so definitely do what Ray has suggested & chop up some thawed Mysis & add that as well so it looks more "manageable" to your fish. best of luck!

This. And try both Hikari and PE mysis. Some fish prefer one or the other. Also try spirulina-enriched brine shrimp (frozen).

Try finely chopped raw shrimp, scallops, and clam.

Crazy combination! I literally just got both today, lol. My regal is eating flake, but no luck on the copperband today. I used a blend of frozen formula one and two, bloodworms, and mysis soaked in garlic. Nothing. I'm dirtying up my water pretty good.
