I have also fed them little neck oysters. They last longer in the refrigerator but are more expensive and harder to open.

Ok -- I bought this Pakistan Butterfly a week ago -- he was eating frozen mysis at the store and for the first couple of days in the QT he was eating the mysis fine -- the last day or so he's taking the shrimp and then spitting it out -- I bought some live black mussels at HEB and want to get this straight -- I open the shell, cut out the mussel, rinse with water and toss the entire mussel into the tank?

Would it be better to secure it to a piece of rock I have in the tank? Will he eat the whole thing or do I just leave it in until he's had his fill and take it out (if so, I assume I'll have to toss the rest) -- should I soak it in garlic? Thanks for all of your help -- would like to get this guy eating again before he joins the big tank.

Cheers,

Dave
