Feeding my Green Wolf Eel and my Lion

[dejay]

I was going to feed the green wolf, and my lion fish mainly ghost shrimp, and sometimes rosely reds for show. How often should I feed, and how much?

feed primarily ghost shrimp, 3-4 times weekly, til both have a small bulge in their belly (4 or 5 ghosts). Skip the rosey reds or goldfish.
W/ that said once your fish are established and eating, start weaning the eel (you know its not an eel right?)and the lion onto frozen dead Marine meat. I like shrimp chunks w/ shell on and crab meat.

Do you just get frozen shrimp from the grocery store?

If you wolf is anything like mine it will eat ANYTHING! Large shrimp, octupus, squid, chunks of fish...fingers...
Here's a pic of mine. He's about 2.5 feet long and probably 2.5" thick. A great fish.

Can I just go to the store and get like shrimp cocktail, and freeze it, and just take a shrimp out and thaw it once a day and feed him that?

Are they cooked? My fish won't eat cooked shrimp.

I guess what I'm asking.... is if I go to the grocery store... what kinda shrimp should I buy? Deil Shrimp, Frozen Shrimp, Bagged shrimp? And how do I perpare it? REMEMBER I'M A TOTALY AMATURE... EXPLAIN EVERYING IN FULL DETAIL PLEASE. lol Sorry I'm an idiot:nervous:

Uncooked shrimp. Depending on the size of your fish on how large. I usually get the 25-30 count per pound from the seafood section. Just freeze in some tupperware and thaw out a couple pieces for about an hour before feeding.
Good Luck!
