Lionfish can be pretty fickle eaters...
What all have you tried to feed it?
Try a variety of different meats to see what will finally tempt it to each: Krill, mysis, clam, squid...
I don't know ig garlic as a food stimulant works on lions or not.... anyone else know?
If it refuses to eat you might have to resort to small live goldfish / shrimp....
i tried given him sallys silversides and omega one shrimp,i tried to give him 1/4 of an inch peace but he just looks at it! i got him from vets pets and they told me he will eat non live food, i guess im gunna half to go get some gold fish then or something
try ghost shrimp and black mollies, that should get him to eat
will do thanx!!
is it normal for the lion to hide under my purple anemone?
black mollies?
Lionfish are hiders/perchers. They like to hang out in caves and such -often upside down....
so its normal..cool
feed him live fish only for a little while then try feeding small pieces of krill . . that seems to work usually also using a feeding stick and feeding krill/silversides will make him more likely to eat it because he thinks its alive.
I feed mine baby mollies, better than guppies cuz they dont die in a day or twoOriginally Posted by DaChrisDude
You can get a clear feeding stick @ Pet Kingdom
so just let the live food go in the tank or try to hold the for him?
let it go, when he starts eating constantly try to get him to switch to frozen and use a feeding stick to move the food around so he thinks its alive
i got him some live ghost shrimp and he still wont eat;(
wait till the lights are off, they are most active at night.
ya ,i hope he eats
