Hi all. First post here.
I've been looking for an african butterfly for some time now and finally found one. I bought it immediately. At the same time, I bought about 20 small crickets because I knew that's what they liked (from researching). I got him home and took about an hour to acclimate, adding tank water to the bag about every 15 minutes. He seemed calm and when I released him to the tank everything seems fine. He just wont eat!
I've tried crickets, red worms, blood worms, plankton, freeze dried brine shrimp, flake and pellets.
He's in a 55 with a clown knife, albino poly, pleco and 3 rainbows. Water temp steady at 76, ph 7.0 (I know they prefer slightly acidic) 0 ammonia, 0 nitrates, 20 nitrates (steady in an old tank). I do 3 water changes a week, so the water is in good shape. All my other fish are super healthy.
Any suggestions getting this guy to eat?
Sorry this was so windy.
