| Re: Help with Lionfish
right now he probably full. yes he will look at food, but think " i cant eat another bite". i have an antenatta lion, for the first week he didnt eat. ye would watch krill float by, interested but woundnt attempt to eat. into the second week while feeding the tank, he eyeballed a krill and agressively swam to it,,,targeted,,,,and gulp~ he ate 2 more that night. he now averages 2-4 krill every other day or so. some days he wont leave his cave or the perch in front of it. but when hes hungry he will come right out and get his share, he will even hand feed~
i also agree with no fresh water fish as food. its an alien foodsource.

i say this as my best advice to a beginner. do not,,,and i repeat,,,,,DO NOT look at my tank as an example....i have a well practised eye, decades of experience, and a trunkload of failures to allow me to force the issue and get away with things most cannot~ Quote:
