Stubborn Spotfin Lionfish

Jus wanna get things clear. Mollys are brackish fish in the freshwater hobby right.
and they are available at most petlands and pet smarts. and silversides are available at the grocery store or pet store ? these may sound like stupid questions but red deer has one store for saltwater and it has along way to go as far as supplies and stuff like that for saltwater fish.

Yeah, mollies are very common in freshwater stores. The black ones are usually pretty cheap. You might be able to find silversides at a grocery store?...I've never really looked.

You could probably get away without the silversides if you wanted to. I think Antennata's are more of a crustacean eater anyways.

Check if your store has ghost shrimp. Those things are like candy to lions.
If anything will get it to eat, those will. I've only ever been able to find them once though.

Work on converting it to frozen. Feeding live all the time will be a major pain in the ass.
