:happyfish Hi, it is VERY hard to get some lions to eat. Volitans are more opt to eat than others so that's good news for you. You should find a place that sells glass or grass shrimp. They LOVE those, and they move. Goldfish are the last resort, and they don't recommend them and either do I but, you gotta do somethin to work. Get the smallest ones you can find, and get a seperator, so that he isn't competing for fish, because I had a lion that wouldn't eat once, because the other fish would beet him to it. I've heard mollies last a day in salt, so you might wanna trie them. The thing is that lions like to see stuff movin. He may have been eatin in their tank, but you get him home, and he is peeved off ya know? Anyways, I know this is stupid but I had a lion that wouldn't eat for anything, and the only thing that got him to eat was to not feed him for 2 days, and then put a krill on a piece of fishing line wrap it around the tail or head of the krill in such a way, so that it falls off when he tugs on it. Then you put the krill on the line in the water and wave it in front of his face, and when he starts to go after it, either let him grab it, or throw in a krill at exactly the right moment. Oh, and put kent marine "garlic xtreme" on the krill, and they like that. Goldfish work ok sometimes, so trie that. I tell ya krill on a string works great if you get it down right, oh, and stand to the side of the tank, and don't move a lot, so you don't distract him. Good luck, and happy feeding, ali
