Dwarf lionfish not eating

[jrcordero4]

My dwarf lionfish isn't eating. I had him for about 2 weeks and he won't go for anything. Not silversides, brine, mysis, clam, even live bait fish. What can I do to get him to eat?

I would try soaking in concentrated garlic juice -- you can buy garlic x but it's much cheaper to take a few heads of garlic and just mash it up, squeeze out the juice, and soak the food in it.

Fish seem to love the taste of garlic, will often get them to eat. Good luck!

Try live ghost fish. Mine goes crazy for them. Or tiny rosies or minnows. Mine ate those like a champ. Now he eats small pieces of squid and various other non-live food.
