I had thought about clams
Do u break them open
Or more to the point how do u feed them to the fish
Just break them open and drop them in the tank. Always worked for me.

This was the trick that I used to get my butterfly eating and quickly onto prepared food. It was pretty easy to do.

This drug does wonders, but be careful in monitoring the fish's condition.
