What to feed????

9supratt4 · 06-29-2007, 03:47 PM

I recently purchased a Heniochus Black & White Butterflyfish and it really hasn't eaten much. I have tried frozen brine shrimp and cut up silversides. What does this thing eat??

Mysis is always good.

mysis, krill, clam, squid, silversides... if you just bought it, it may take some time for it to eat anything... these guys can be somewhat shy in the beginning. Plus if you have liverock they will eat your tubeworms and plankton hanging on/around the rocks.
