feeding a threadfin butterfly

[brett7768]

so i bought a threadfin a couple days ago and i dont think it has eaten yet. lfs told me it was eating frozen mysis, but he didnt go for it. he didnt want the marine flakes or frozen jumble i feed my clowns either. what do you guys feed your threadfin? TIA!

My threadfin is a pig, and he greedily eats brine shrimp, Formula 2 flake, my formula Angel food with sponge and any other dry food that I add.
He is also one of the first fish on the scene whenever I add a raw clam to the tank. I would try feeding yours some clam or muscle to get thing going ....do you have other fish, and if so are they eating normally? Is the threadfin being bullied during feeding time?
