problem eaters?

[pumbus]

i have a peacock lion thats about 3" maby a bit smaller,he is still taking live and will not touch frozen,right now i'm feeding him small shrimp,it's pretty entertaining but becoming a hassle,i've had him for 2-3 weeks now,nothing in the tank bothers him so it's not from stress
how can i get him to start taking frozen,

another Q,anybody have any pics of a adult snowflake eel,

what size tank is he in ? it will most likely tank more than 3 weeks, and nothing being in the tank does not mean it is stress free, stress is caused by many other things. All you can do is keep trying

there is a niger trigger(4-5"),clarkie clown(4"),yellow tang (5"),eveything seems smart enough to avoid the lion,it is a 90G,and before u say they will outgrow it i have a empty 135

heres a quick vid of him

rethink your trigger in that tank they slowly kill lions. It may be behaivng for now but can snap this goes for all triggers some are less likely to have it happen but why take a chance. once again all you can do is keep trying. How are you trying to feed him frozen food?

i'm keeping a pretty close eye on him,if i see the slightest nipped fins i will remove the aggressor,as for feeding i use a eye dropper and let a piece of plankton come out to the edge and wiggle it a little,i make sure that they are full body's,eyes and all but he still shows no interest
you can see his fins are fully intact, lol,i'm kinda bord so i'l just post a pic
