Feeding My Fuzzy

[redhooksilva]

Ok I just bought a Fuzzy Dwarf Lionfish and she is the only inhabitant in my 55g tank. It is so small the only thing it can eat are brine and pieces of squid or krill. The question i pose is this it only seems to eat a few brine and its only eaten a piece of squid once. How could i get it to eat a) during the daytime b)when i feed it c) should i get one of those food additives to give it more nutrition? Any other advice like how to deliver the food or anything like that would be most appreciated.

brine isn't the best. the squid and krill should be fine if the fish is eating it. i would soak the squid and krill in a vitamin and garlic supplement and then feed with a feeding stick.

they will eat what they can fit into their mouths, but aren't aggressive. shrimp and small fish can become a meal.

Pick up some ghost shrimp. Fuzzies need to eat live sometimes. Add some fresh garlic to a cup of ghost shrimp. He will associate the flavor. You can add garlic to frozen later on.
