crox...wow..nice saddleback...looks good and healthy...my two new guys are still fine and both eating, but the racoon seems to turn his nose up at flake and pellet, only wants to eat the frozen mysis shrimp...What does yours eat? should I be giving mine anything else... what other frozen stuff do they like?

I've tried them on 3 occasions, including 2 Copperband's and haven't had any luck. I don't think mine ate well. Maybe I was using the wrong type of food. May give them a try again once I rework my fish only tank. :notsure:

Goodwin...that's what NM said that the butterflys sometimes are finicky eaters. I lost two bannerfish that just never ate..
BigDog...very nice butterflies...I think I just saw a thread on your ?new tank? or maybe not so new reef tank...looks great... so far my racoon and my threadfin are doing well. I'm just hoping for the best. thanks for the tip on different foods. mine eat mysis, brine and spirulina, marine plankton...I've been feeding 2-3x a day usually just to be sure they are eating well. I was worried the tank wouldn't keep up with this, but no nitrates still. Maybe because I do weekly 10% water changes..
