Default silversides

so i went to my lfs today and got some frozen silversides for my lionfish. the thing is, is that the ss are like 4 inches long. that is longer than my lion is, so my question is:

should i cut the silversides in half?

I would cut them in half.
Unless you could take them back and get smaller ones.

these were the only size they had. and i tried to cut them up and i put some fishing line from their mouth to their gill. i plopped it in the tank, but the lionfish onmly looked at it, i was wiggling it around, i bet its not hungry since i just fed him 3 rosyreds yesterday.

Just cut the silverside to a size he can enjoy it at, be sure to thaw it out and soak it in some garlic and vitamins for the guy, a good 30 mins soak is nice..

Anemones LOVE 1/4" pieces of silversides too !!!
