feeding help lionfish

[BlueWorldAquatic]

Rosy barb minnows work, goldfsh are bad due to the skeletal structure, the heads do not break down in the digestive system as easily.

Silversides dipped in garlic, then large mysis work well.

Use a feeding stick, get an acrylic tube (smaller the better) and use thinker fish line in it. Move it around to make the silversides look alive. Key is leave the heads on.

Lions can take up to 2 weeks to eat, but we get ours eating in about 72 hours.

If you can find them, rosy barb minnows for live food, or silversides in garlic with a feeding stick.
