    My CopperBand Butterfly eats frozen Mysis Shrimp. I've noticed that the Fish likes to graze and eat over a period of time rather than all at once like my other fish.

    This is how I feed my CopperBand,

    First I use a strainer and put a cube of Mysis in it. Wait 20 minutes for it to melt. Discard the water that dripped from it.

    I then put it into a cup, and drip some Selcon on it.

    Wait 10-15 minutes

    TURN OFF ALL PUMPS

    I then use "Julians thing" to insert Mysis shrimp onto rocks, I leave the pumps off for 30 minutes or so, and allow the CopperBand Butterfly to graze the whole tank looking for "jackpots" of Mysis shrimp I randomly place on the rocks.

    Here's video of it!
