| Just bought a copperband butterfly last week, that hasn't shown any interest in any flake/pellet or frozen Mysis, brine, or bloodworms. I bought some live mussels to try to stimulate feeding, and just put one with a cracked shell in the tank, and he has been picking at it now for about a half hour, seems to reallly like it. After doing some research, I found alot of people feed them and many other fish in their system with a homemade mush, that they freeze, and break chunks off of for feeding time. Problem is, I cant seem to find any recipes for this mush. Does anyone here make their own mush to feed their fish, or have recommendations on what to put in the mush? I have clowns, copperband, sailfin, chromis, coral beauty, diappearing and sixline wrasse, banded goby, purple firefish, lawnmower blenny, hippo tang, some kind of hawkfish in my systems. All of my fish aside from the copperband/lawn mower/hawkfish eat pretty much whatever I put in there. So I would like a mush aimed more towards those fish. The lawn mower blenny seems happy just eating stuff off my rock and sides though, so I am not sure if I even need to provide him another source of food. -Rob

| Nice, thank you both for your replies! I will read through those articles and hopefully my fish will be happy eaters tonight! Its my girlfriends birthday today though, and she wants to get a kitten, so we are going to go to the animal rescue and look for one. After that though, I'm sure she will be so preoccupied with the kitty, I will have all the time in the world to hang out with my fish! Thanks again, Rob
