lion fish diet

dgorner · 04-18-2006, 12:18 PM

hi all:
i recently purchased a med size volitan lion, hes very active looks great no problems at all. im just curious about mixing up his diet. right now hes on tuffies and would eat them till he explodes im sure, but i heard all freshwater diet gives them a fatty liver. none of the lfs's around my house have live breeder shrimp or any live saltwater feeders. i do though have a fresh fish market. could i purchase clams mussels small uncooked shrimp to feed him, i meen if there unprepared there shouldnt be any high phosphate levels, also whats a good frozen food to feed him. thanks to all that can help.

soaking in RO for a while will help remove Po4. most seafood is flash frozen with phoshate laden water as a natural presevative. when you go to the seafood market, check tags,,,youmay see this

"Fresh Shrimp
(previously frozen)"
