hey i just got a dwarf lionfish for my tank and im aware that i have to be very careful is there any tricks to feeding him and what it perfers to eat? HELP

[arthur]

I have heard that live shrimp should be used to entice it to eat.

[Riermann]

How big is he? I have a medium size one and i just feed him frozed shrimp or brine... every couple days. and hes doing great!

i have a dwarf lion fish and i fattened him up on live feeder fish then offered him frozen krill for about one and a half weeks before he ate frozen now i feed him by hand [almost] he is one of my favorite fishes

[deepblue101]

well hes only about 3 1/2 inches hes not that big at all ok so live shrimp are the best but say i want to feed my other fish and some of my corals how would i do that with out getting the lion too close to my skin i dont want to get piosined!

[sarha]

he's more scared of you than you are of him, keep an eye on him, i highly dought he's out to poisin you

[deepblue101]

ha ok hopefully....ok well since he eats ghost shrimp would he eat my cleaner shrimp?

[sarha]

I don't know for sure. i haven't the guts to put mine in with the cleaner shrimp scared it would be an expensive lunch for the guy! you try it first! [just kidding] maybe some one already has ?

[Riermann]

Well i have my shrimp with him and hes fine, but i dont want to be responsible for killing it so, you can try it, mine is fine....

[sarha]

that's cool how long have you had a cleaner shrimp with your lion?

[Riermann]

I bough them at the same time, about 4 months ago and there fine.

[sarha]

how big is your dwarf compared to your shrimp?

[Riermann]

The darwf is about twice the size, but hes always fed too...

[sarha]

do you have pics of your lion

[e_baer]

what about a neon goby? Im actually getting 2 Antennata Lionfish and I want to have some critter that can clean them. I was thinking of adding a neon goby, because if it gets scared, it can just swim into a little crevace and avoid the jaws of death. I doubt the fish is smart enough to do that, but I think it might be worth a try.....any opinions?

I've had a fuzzy for a weeks and he's awesome. started with ghost shrimp and now I drop the thawed mysis shrimp infront of the corrent nozzle and hell eat it as long as it is moving. He's in there with a yellow stripe clown and a bubble tip anemone, a coral banded shrimp, a brittle star, fan worm, and a few coral frags. hope i helped.
