Dang it!!

Well Fluffy (Lionfish) ate a few bites of some frozen enriched brine shrimp a few times.
I have some Ocean perch ( the only thing around here in my little town).
I put it on a thread as he won't even look at the feeding stick.
Have been offering it to him every day. Well this morning he struck at it!!!!
Twice as a matter of fact. But I must have had the knot at the bottom of the string to big for him to pull it off easy
Oh I could just smack myself!! After I redid the knot he wouldn't try again

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~

Re: Dang it!!

Good....keep offering it to him, once he learns it will all be down hill. Also make sure he is still getting food, offer him a live gupy or glass shrimp every now and then so he will keep on eating.

Re: Dang it!!

It's a learning curve for the both of you. At least he's making the effort now so it's only a matter of time until things go smoothly.
