Dwarf lionfish

[gareth.hubbarde]

Hi all. I picked up this zebra lionfish from lfs few days ago. Seems to have settled in although it won't eat the normal frozen food I put in for the fish. It does eat the ghost (River) shrimp that go in live. I am conscious though that freshwater fish aren't the best for it. Apparently it does eat frozen krill that is presented to it but not tried yet. Any other suggestions as to what to feed it? I have read about silver side fish, what are they, are they any good and where would I get them? Any other option? I am going to try daily to wean it onto frozen food. Any other help be appreciated.

I would try rods predator blend. That's what my lfs feeds their lions and they all eat it like pigs.

Thanks but it's not available in the UK.

Mine took to mysis shrimp pretty quickly and then I was able to get it to eat other frozen blends after.

Mine is only eating live pods and mysis in my tank. It's like a mandarin[emoji28]

I meant I used frozen mysis to get him on frozen food first. After he started eating that , he ate everything else.
