Long, longnose butterfly fish ? Hi, I have just discovered your
site, so please forgive me if this question is answered within the
site. I have just bought a yellow longnose butterfly, the one with the
longer snout I believe. Which of the 2 is the more common? <The
"regular", Forcipiger flavissimus> In the store, I saw him eat flake;
so far (2 or 3 days) he hasn't for me, so I am considering frozen Mysis
shrimp. I have a coral banded shrimp in the tank, as well as some
mushroom corals. Are these is danger? <No, should get along> If
I keep him extra well fed, does the danger decrease? How much Mysis
should I give daily if he doesn't accept the flake? <As much, many as
the fish seems interested in. Please see here re these species:
http://www.wetwebmedia.com/forcipig.htm> Thanks for
considering my questions. Mike <Thank you for writing. Bob
Fenner>
