I just bought a krill weened fu Manchu lion fish last week. My question is can they live on this alone or do I need to be feeding him something else? It was a little tricky to get him to eat at first, I had to use a shish-kabob and stick the shrimp on the end and practically smack him in the head with it to get him to take it and that was after 3 days of starvation! If anyone can help me out I would appreciate it. Thanks

Hi-
I would suggest you feed the fish a wide variety of foods. Krill being only a small if insignificant part.
If you havent read this article on keeping lionfish, it has a section on feeding & nutrition.

Also these articles on feeding scorpionfish are really helpful.

BTW most folks post question about lionfish in the aggressive fish forum, so you'll probably get more specific attention inthere
