Dwarf Lion Fish HELP!

[tomr10]

I have a Dwarf Lion fish that is doing very well but I can't seem to get it to eat frozen food. I have attempted to put brine shrimp in the net with no luck. As soon as I put the net in the tank he is all over it but won't eat. Any advise on other foods to use. He really likes live guppies. thanks

Live brine is not a suitable food for lionfish. It is far too small. You need to try (if you are trying to tempt it) something like ghost shrimp which are a larger feeder. Also try frozen krill or silversides. But forget about the brine. It is not a very good long term diet for most fish, unless various vitamins are added to it.
I am going to move this to the aggressive forum, where there is also another thread on this very same topic. You may wish to search through there for more advice as well.

This is one of the most asked questions on the board. Do a search, and you will find a lot of really good information on breaking lionfish off of live food. Bo
