African butterfly fish

What do you feed them???

 

[bob mccoy]

they like flake food or anything that floats on top. in nature they sit and watch the top of the water for food. so anything that falls and floats they will eat.

Ok cool, that seems easy enough. Thank you

african butterfly

they eat insects,crickets/flys any bug small enough to fit in their mouth
they will eat floating food but ive had two and mine never ate flakes just bugs and freeze dried blood worms

Ok so crickets, do I just sit one on the water and it will get eaten.

ya near it so it can spot it,make sure its a small/medium size cricket not the monsters they sell for lizards,it wont be able to swallow it.oh a make sure you watch it get eaten, more then once i was in a hurry and just dropped it in only to have it crawl out of the tank and hear my wife scream at the top of her lungs
