Longnose Butterflyfish

[cheese]

The Longnose Butterflyfish is my latest addition yesterday, and probably the last fish if all goes well. My Power Blue & Yellow Tangs are both playing in the Main tank liao. All looks health.

Except, I really worry about this Longnose Butterflyfish, which is rather skinny. And the more I read from the forum, the more worry I'm getting, wasn't bufferfly fish that difficult to keep?

Both are in the sump tank. The Bannerfish has wif me for almost a month liao. Eating very very well, and it's growing fat and wanting for food whenever I come close. So, no problem. In fact, it also like seaweed very very much! That's why the offer there.

The Longnose Butterfly do seems it's strawing but not as eager as Mr. Banner. Probably still new. So, after I put the food in, I will half close the door to the sump, so that they will be disturb by our movement, and also for them to enjoy their food. Then, I realise the Longnose actually will spit water out of the surface!

Hence Masters, do u know why it spit?

Was that a normal behaviour or trying to tell me something that it's not happy about?

I'm seriously worry about him, hence really need your advices.

Thank you and Cheers!

I had a tame cowfish which did just that. Probably playful behavior..then again there could be other reasons..haha You should feed it frozen mysis. If it shows no interest you might have to try live adult brine shrimp to get it feeding first. Cheers~
