Unfortunately for me I didn't do enough research on my lionfish before I bought him/her? See! And listened to the clerk at the fish store. I was given frozen silver eels and told to defrost in water and just drop them in and it will eat. HAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Never happened and I am darn tired of playing with his food and not my own.
So went back to the fish store and bought some ghost shrimp at another clerks suggestion and fed them to "Spike" and he ate about six of them. WOW!!
So now my question is do I continue with the ghost shrimp for a month as I believe it said in your article and then wean him from the frozen. And when we do wean him any suggestions.
Oh and the clerk also sold me five damsels to be in the tank with him saying they would be safe because his mouth is too small to eat them. Well he ate one the first day. And imagine my surprise! A lion fish grows bigger.
I want to add some friends in the tank for him and would love some suggestions. And do I need to find a new home for the damsels.
Thanks for any help
