Getting Butterflies to Eat

[Willito]

Many butterflies, if not all, arrive carrying gill flukes and internal parasites causing tremendous irritation and stress to the fish, preventing them from swallowing. You may see them try to eat but often spit. IME treating all butterflies with something like Prazipro for one or two treatment will vastly induce feeding behavior. This drug does wonders, but be careful in monitoring the fish's condition.
