Volitan Lion not eating

I've had this smaller Lion for over a month now. He ate like a pig for the first few weeks - have been feeding him silversides. Now he acts like he's sick of them. I put it in the water and move it around like its alive and he comes right up to it and acts interested until he sees that its a silverside - then he turns his head and swims away. He hasn't eaten in several days now. I've tried the smaller silversides, and other foods like squid but he won't eat that - it just sinks to the bottom where I have to clean it up. What do I try now?

I replied in another thread but will reply here also. Your lion should be eating a variety of foods soaked in vitamins, such as, Raw shrimp, Crab, Squid, Octo & Scallops. You can pick up a feeder stick from your LFS to feed with, feed until there is a slight bulge in the stomach area. You can also try frozen sand eels, but variety is best.
