? about feeding lions

[jenni620]

I have a V. lion that is about 3.5 inches. I am feeding him mysis, squid, krill and clam taken out of the shell. I think he has a pretty good variety of food, but I have read about people giving their lions vitamins. What kind do they need? Is there anything else I should be feeding him? Thanks!!

A lot of people use vit like selcon. You are feeding a lot of different stuff which is great. Sounds like you are doing great.

how do you get your lion to eat mysis?
mine will eat anything I put on the feeding prong, but Mysis is sooo TINY compared to the chunks of food I put on the stick
My lion is a fuzzy at about 3.0-3.5 inches as well.
does he just go after the mysis when you dump some in the tank?
Mine watches 'little things' float by and doesnt even flap a fin.

yeah, when i put it in there he just goes after it. it's not really something that i give him all the time because it doesn't seem like enough food, but he will eat it...i guess it's like a "snack" for him..lol
