Another item you can pick up from the frozen fish isle is a pack of squid. You will have to thaw them out partially and cut them into small enough chunks for the size of lion you have.
One more thing about the frozen foods: package them well or they will get freezer burnt.
Lastly, try to stay away from feeding your lion goldfish. It is great to see a lionfish feed like it would in the wild, but it is cruel to the freshwater fish and not very nutritious for the lion. It might take a couple of weeks to get the fish accustomed to taking prepared foods so be patient and in time it will happen.
Hope this helps.
